Flavour carrier Kevin: “It truly feels like coming home among my colleagues”

The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in many careers, and it was no different for Kevin de Groof. After fourteen years in hospitality, with long hours and uncertain schedules, he left it all behind and found a vibrant job at Vario Food Group. To this day, it remains the best decision he’s ever made. Kevin shares why he finds being a flavour carrier at Vario Food Group so rewarding.

Kevin: “During the pandemic, life in hospitality came to a standstill, and a family member suggested I try working at Vario Food Group. From day one, this job has been a perfect fit. I traded long hours and uncertain schedules for stability and structure, which also gave me more quality time with my family.”

“As an order picker at Vario Food Group, every day is different. I navigate the warehouse using a voice system, pick the beverages it directs me to, and stack them neatly on pallets. Everything is done with care to ensure they are perfectly and safely packed for our customers.”

“I started as an order picker, but over time, I’ve taken on many other tasks. I’m enthusiastic and love learning new things. They notice and reward that by adding more vibrant responsibilities to my daily work. I hope to stay here for a long time and build a bright future.”

No drinks in the shops without flavour carriers

“My colleagues are what make this job so enjoyable. The great atmosphere and open communication between colleagues, managers, and even the directors make Vario Food Group truly feel like coming home—a family of flavour carriers. At the same time, everyone takes responsibility for doing their job well because without us, there would be no drinks on the shelves. And, of course, it’s not all work and no play. The fun atmosphere at work continues outside the workplace, too. We often get together after hours to go bowling, enjoy a meal, and more.”
