With a rapidly expanding business, KLG is
aware of the customer care policies and employee
training that must be placed in order to build a
strong foundation on which they can build. “We can
have quite a flat organisation which also means that
people have to be able to take the responsibility,”
Kuijken explains. “In order to do that, they have to
be trained and want to be trained, so we do spend
quite a lot of money on training every year.
“We are a very active member of several
cooperations within Europe for Germany and
a big part of Europe, we are a shareholder of the
German 24 Plus system. We are also member and
shareholder of the co-operation Astre in France.
Worldwide, we are a member of the WCA.”
He concludes: “We don’t see revenue as our
target; we see profit as our target. At the moment,
we are able to reduce costs for our clients.”
