Conor is an absolutely amazing person, highly professional, helpful, joyful, chilled and with a great sense of humor so he really became part of our family/small community and we all miss him and his loud laughter! We would have achieved a lot less without him!

Conor is een heel fijn, bescheiden en relaxt persoon. Maar ook iemand die kan werken en dat ook leuk vind. Ik vond het erg leuk om samen te werken.

Soms … read more
