Our team

The founder and creator of
De Groene Linde. Sometimes we have to rein in her boundless creativity, but fortunately we usually fail to do so. Starting out in the attic room, Marianne has now developed a whole shop full of her creations. Give her a theme and she’ll create a unique scent.
Without her, there’d be no Groene Linde!

Ton, who is, after all, the one who started it all…
Marianne’s husband, who made sure the bottles actually ended up on the site – and the rest is history! Ton particularly enjoys working behind the scenes with Google and the website. He also loves spending time in nature.

Rebecca was the first to join this family business. With fingers as nimble as a typewriter, she whips up all the content in no time at all, whether for social media, blogs or the website. Thanks to the knowledge she has gained within the company, she is now working on product development alongside Marianne. Outside of work, she enjoys doing fun and sociable things with her “family of men” and her dog.

Hilda is Marianne’s mother and used to help out with the bookkeeping in the early years. These days, she no longer has to worry about that and helps out with special orders in our production department. Hilda is in every Monday to lend a hand to our team.

Arie is Ton’s brother. He’s our handyman on the premises. A bit of this, a bit of that – Arie gets the job done! On days when our Tycho isn’t around to sort out our coffee and lunch, we’re lucky to have Arie looking after our team. Arie also helps out with restocking supplies in production. Just give him a shout and he’s there in a flash!

Mirjana started out in the showroom, and she can still often be found there, rearranging the displays. Together with Noelle and Rebecca, she forms our social media team and also adds products to the online shop. A real busy bee, then, this mum of two teenagers – which is why she can also regularly be found at the riding school with her daughter.

Rico, the son of Ton and Marianne, focuses primarily on serving the business market and supporting our private-label customers. With a fresh perspective, he is making great strides in improving the family business. After a busy day at work, he can relax at home with his lovely family.

The face of the showroom. Three days a week, she is on hand to offer visitors tailored advice and answer their questions. She also runs a practice as a family and children’s coach, specialising in aura reading. Together with her husband, she loves getting out and about to discover the most beautiful places.

Jara works in our dispatch department and can often be found in the showroom. As well as enjoying sending out parcels, she has now also discovered a passion for helping customers in the showroom. She is currently busy building her dream home in a beautiful location.

This creative mind handles orders with great care and attention. Jesper is always on hand with solutions if there’s a problem with a delivery, and enjoys getting creative with ceramics at home. But painting and drawing are also close to this artist’s heart. Jesper is the editor of our podcasts, which we’re absolutely delighted with!

Noëlle is the creative force behind the stunning photos on the website and social media. She also handles the sourcing and processing of the crystals, as well as so much more. A real all-rounder in our team! Sometimes she steps in front of the camera herself, so you’ll regularly see her popping up on social media.

Thanks to our organised Suus, everyone at De Groene Linde knows exactly what needs to be done. As well as drawing up lists to keep track of our activities, Suus is responsible for sourcing and ensuring the quality of our raw materials. To unwind, you’ll often find Suus at the best salsa parties.

Isa is a pillar of support in the production department, where she ensures that production runs smoothly. She also works as part of our Groene Linde Care Team. In addition to her work at De Groene Linde, she runs her own personal care business, where she carries out her work with great love and care.

Ans, the padel queen of De Groene Linde! She’s the driving force behind the production department. Together with Fanny, she ensures that all tasks run smoothly, production keeps moving and everyone knows what needs to be done that day. So when she’s not at work, you’ll find her on the padel court!

Fanny also works as part of our Care Team. In production, she makes sure everything is perfect. This ensures the production process is carried out with great care. On Saturdays, Fanny supervises our Saturday team. At home, she thoroughly enjoys spending time with her little girl and being a mum.

Marga, the numbers woman… I’ll give you that, keeping a company’s finances clear and organised is no mean feat. But Marga dives right in and sticks at it until everything adds up again. As well as the figures, Marga also loves to clear her head with a bit of yoga 😉 or go for a walk with her dog, Durk.

The man who looks after our team! Ton and Marianne’s son, who makes sure we have a fresh lunch and a lovely cup of coffee every day. As well as his work in the kitchen, this man has green fingers and our canteen is full of fresh vegetable plants and herbs! You can also find Tycho at the archery range at the weekend.

Chiara is always on hand to help out! That’s why this mum of two little girls and a son is always ready to help Tycho prepare lunch. As well as this big job (there are quite a few of us), she can also be found on the production line. And don’t be put off by that blonde hair – Chiara is actually half-Italian, which brings a whole lot of cheerfulness with it!

Our quality assurance specialist, Lisa! This quality assurance officer has her hands full dealing with all the regulations and laws we have to comply with. For instance, Lisa prepares the safety data sheets for the oils, checks the quality of incoming oils and monitors the production process. This means we can put everything on the shelves with complete peace of mind.

Milou is a friendly colleague who works in the production department three days a week with great joy and enthusiasm. She always puts a smile on everyone’s face. She is meticulous and always on the ball, ensuring that everything is filled correctly. Milou is a real animal lover and lives with her husband 😉 and their two lovely little dogs.

Doortje is the mum of two lovely children and a real go-getter. She’s always hard at work in our dispatch department, where she can get stuck in and pack orders! She also makes sure we have plenty of stock so that she and her colleagues never run out. Doortje always packs the parcels with great care and attention and holds her own amongst all the men in this department 😉

Dian is a handy all-rounder. As well as providing support with the procurement process, she also helps out in the office by answering enquiries over the phone or by email, and can often be found in the production department. As well as spending time with her family, Dian also teaches yoga and is a ray of sunshine within the team.

Our colleague Audrey, who mainly looks after our business clients, but also often lends a hand in our production department. She’s happy to get in the car to visit our business clients and offer advice. In her spare time, Audrey is busy running her own home-based Reiki practice.

Wout is responsible for the dispatch process and for using Piqcer, our stock management system. You simply can’t miss our Wout. At 1.98 metres tall, he certainly stands out amongst all the women in the company. But there are three women who have stolen his heart: Chiara (our colleague) and their two lovely girls. Luckily, he’s recently had some support from his little boy ;).

Anne has joined our production team. She works here three days a week, and thanks to her precision, everything is filled with great care. The Light Frequencies, in particular, are under Anne’s close supervision. Outside of work, she teaches yoga classes and organises silent retreats. Anne is our quiet but oh-so-strong force!

Ilse is our rock in our dispatch department. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Ilse packs your parcels with great care and attention. But there’s more to this creative spirit than meets the eye! Ilse is our very own beekeeper for our Groene Linde bees! We’re delighted to have such a positive and friendly colleague!

Judith is an enthusiastic and eager-to-learn colleague in production. As well as working at De Groene Linde, she lovingly cares for the residents at the hospice. Judith has already seen a lot of the world; she has now found her place with us in the care team and is responsible for the workshops and training sessions.
