Hubert Andela informed the board of the Royal Dutch Transport that after more than 17 years he will be leaving the service as of 1 June as secretary of KNV Healthcare Transport and Taxi and will be taking a final farewell. Andela joined KNV on April 1, 2004. As we have noticed more often in the past year, his heart is more in the interests of entrepreneurs in the dairy sector. As it turns out, ZuivelNL has appointed Hubert Andela as its new director. He is scheduled to start work on 1 June of this year. Andela succeeds Janine Luten who left in mid-August last year and in the meantime, former CRV director Roald van Noort became an interim director.
no runaway
Hubert Andela (58) has been director-secretary of Royal Dutch Transport (KNV) since 2004 and cannot rightly be called a runaway, but perhaps not really a dairy man given his many years of experience in the passenger transport sector. Nevertheless, since 2014 he has been the independent chairman of Anevei, the association of egg traders and egg product manufacturers. His term of office at Anevei ends in the second half of 2021. Andela previously worked as a policy advisor and sector director of the Product Board for Livestock and Meat and the Product Board for Poultry and Eggs. He was also commercial director and plant manager of Kemper BV.
the future of KNV
Within KNV Andela made friends and enemies. He succeeded Ad Toet as director of Royal Dutch Transport. Now KNV chairman Bertho Eckhardt will work on his succession in consultation with the board and if this is not yet provided for on 1 June, Eckhardt will temporarily take over a number of the tasks, so that the service provision and the lobby of KNV continues properly.
The future of KNV itself is also often the subject of discussion among its members. More and more doubts arise about the trade association as a connecting factor within the sector and the constant search for a new identity is part of this. Recently KNV has been trying to find its way with the MaaS-Lab. During the corona period, the KNV itself was nowhere in the news, neither in the media, nor on television. While various trade associations successfully sought attention in all possible television programs or talk shows, KNV was largely absent. It was also announced today that Casper Oranje (1) has joined KNV on March 58. He will work as a policy advisor on many healthcare transport topics. Casper is a lawyer and previously worked at the College for Health Insurance and the Ministry of Justice.
