Project and Consultancy Agency Wim van Hooff

"From the start of the collaboration with Wim you notice that he has very good knowledge and extensive experience with the development of project proposals in the context of various European financing instruments. Not only in terms of technical approach and requirements, but also in terms of content, so that adjusting project proposals runs smoothly and leads to the desired results (i.e. approval of a project). In addition, Wim has an extensive network of contacts and can quickly detect and engage potential partners for project proposals. Finally, Wim plays briefly where necessary and has a smooth communication style. We were very satisfied with our collaborations with Wim."

"Wim van Hooff is the right expert to plan a sailing trip around the world. First and foremost, he examines to what extent the pre-set objectives of the journey have been realistic chosen. He then climbs aboard the sailboat and meticulously examines the quality of material on board the ship. Finally, he accurately calculates the amount of provisions that must be taken on board in order to start the crossing in a decent manner. And once the trusses are loose, he goes to the wheelhouse and clamps the rudder around the ship to steer the port out of the sheds. Undoubtedly, he looks down at the sky to stay on the set course and searches for the best wind to make the crossing as successful as possible. In the same way, Wim van Hooff tackles the development and implementation of European cooperation projects: driven and focused, he guides the project and the project partners through a sea of ​​procedures that flood the substantive operation and realization of the projects. A mate in place."

"I know Wim from the preparation process of a European grant application that we went through together. Avans University of Applied Sciences was the lead partner in this and Wim supported the process by actually writing the application. We also consult Wim on other European projects due to his extensive experience in that field. Wim played an important role in the aforementioned project in the final approval of the project. Thanks to his knowledge and experience with such projects, his commitment and perseverance, this collaboration has led to success. It turned out that Wim not only supports projects and processes, but also has knowledge of and is able to delve into the content of issues and can therefore switch over to the project and its coherence as a whole."

"With the commitment of Wim van Hooff, the Landscape Table Voorne-Putten has developed into a dynamic and result-oriented instrument. By involving many parties, supporting these parties and an objective assessment of the concrete project proposals from governments, social organizations and entrepreneurs, important investments have been made on Voorne-Putten. Wim's knowledge, experience and support has led to an actual and concrete positive impulse on developments in sustainable farming, biodiversity, tourism and recreation on Voorne-Putten."

"I know Wim van Hooff from various task fields from Natuurmonumenten. Within Natuurmonumenten, Wim has been active in the district committee and I have also worked with Wim on various projects. For me as a nature manager it is easy to spar with Wim as a graduated biologist. That works very well because you do not always have to explain which goals are being pursued or which have to be motivated time and time again. I also experienced and got to know Wim as a go-getter. He is a proactive project manager who is not only familiar with managing projects, but is also experienced in managing the people involved. Press where necessary and release where possible. He also has a broad network in which he knows how to play chess easily and bring people and organizations together."
