Our Business Values are the ingrained principles of the company and our people. These Values serve as the thread woven throughout our company to guide our future actions, decision making and the way we work with our business partners, within our communities and with each other. These Values serve as the moral cornerstones on which Zanders was built, beginning from the establishment of the company in 1994.
The Zanders Business Values and Principles encourage freedom and autonomous decision making. We trust that freedom in decision making will lead to more responsibility, increased entrepreneurship and better results and output.
Our organization fosters an energetic environment to spur the ambition and passion of our teams/employees/people. Ambition is the drive to learn, excel and develop yourself, colleagues and customers. We are passionate about our company, business and our services in which we promote innovation and implement creative solutions.
We perform as one team within Zanders and with our clients. It is not about individual results but about high performing teams. By working together we can realize our ambitions.
We take our work as a professional services organization in the financial industry seriously. Nevertheless fun is an important value for our company. We believe that enjoying what we do is the perfect counterbalance for the nature of our services.
Zanders is led by nine partners who share final responsibility for the quality and development of the services.
As co-founder of Zanders, Rob Naber has experience in all sectors.
After studying Econometrics at Amsterdam University, Rob started his career as a management trainee at AMRO Bank, where he soon transferred to the treasury field. After a few years in the dealing room gaining necessary risk management experience, he joined Chris Zanders in 1994.
He is currently active mainly in advising the public sector and financial institutions. Within the management team, he has a distinctive role particularly due to the combination of technical finance and commercial aspects of consultancy.
In 1994, Chris Zanders and Rob Naber decide to collaborate as equal partners within the firm Zanders & Partners as treasury consultants. Judith van Paassen is also part of this Utrecht based team from the very start.
After three years, Zanders outgrows its Utrecht office and moves to Zeist. In the following years, Jaap Karelse, Bart-Jan Wittenberg and Sander van Tol bring in new expertise, increasing the work field and gradually developing higher sales.
The firm outgrows the Zeist office quickly and Zanders moves to its current Bussum office, at Brinklaan 134. Within 10 years after its foundation the company employs over 50 professionals.
In 2005, the firm decides on focusing more on international activities. Based in Brussels, Laurens Tijdhof starts developing this international market.
In 2008, Zanders opens an office in the UK, followed by a Swiss office two years later. Next to these offices, the company is active with clients in different continents.
In 2012 the company employs over 100 professionals coming from 20 different nationalities. Nearly half of the revenue is earned outside the Netherlands.
Two decades after founding the company of the same name, Chris Zanders says goodbye to the consultancy firm he saw develop year-on-year. Gerbert van Grootheest became meanwhile part of the management team.
Further international growth plans focus on the US market, which is why we open an office in New York. See all Zanders offices worldwide.
Next international growth plans focus on the Nordics market and Asian market, which is why we open offices in Stockholm and Tokyo. See all Zanders offices worldwide
Zanders has entered into an agreement with international investor MML Capital to support Zanders’ accelerated growth strategy. After 18 years, Zanders has outgrown its office in Bussum and moves its headquarters to the city center of Utrecht.
We feel closely involved in our direct surroundings and society as a whole.
This is why we defined a number of specific ambitions relating to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), focusing on sustainability, personnel policy and social involvement. Own initiatives are amongst others;
Zanders has invested both capital and manpower in sustainable investment projects. Zanders was one of the initiators and founders of First Green Capital, Windline, Gael and Unser-e.
Zanders feels that continuous focus on optimizing a pleasant, sustainable working environment is simply common sense. We consume ‘green power’ only and encourage clean, smart mobility.
Various social initiatives deserve support and commitment, both in a physical and a financial form. Zanders annually donates a substantial sponsoring amount to support well-known and lesser known initiatives. Zanders employees are generally involved as a volunteer in such initiatives.
