    🌟 Marel Voices: Meet Jessica Chambers 🌟 At Marel, we’re proud to celebrate the unique passions of our employees, both in and out of the office. Today, we’re excited to introduce Jessica Chambers, a Data Analyst based in Gardabaer, Iceland, who has a rather magical side hustle—she’s a princess for hire! 👑 What started as a hobby making cosplay costumes for fun evolved into a full-fledged business, Prinsessur (Princesses in Icelandic), where Jessica and her team of five performers bring joy to children at birthday parties, Christmas markets, and community events. From wig styling to face painting, Jessica has mastered new skills, all while making unforgettable memories for the kids she meets. Balancing her day job with running Prinsessur, Jessica applies her data skills by automating tasks and scheduling months in advance. Her love for children and knack for planning has helped her grow into a business owner and team leader. Her advice for anyone curious about “princessing”? “Start with cosplay! Dressing up as a character you love is fun, and who knows—maybe you’ll find yourself being a princess for hire too!” #MarelVoices #DataAnalyst #Entrepreneur #EmployeeSpotlight #MagicAndMemories

    🌟 Marel Voices: Meet Monica Wigueras 🌟 At Marel, we are proud to celebrate the passions our team members pursue beyond the workplace. Today, we’re delighted to introduce Monica Wigueras, a Customer Support Coordinator based in Mexico City, who is also a talented singer. 🎤 Monica’s passion for singing began in childhood, where encouragement from her music teacher led her to choir performances and lead roles in school productions. Today, she performs with rock bands and recently experienced the thrill of winning second place in a competition at the iconic Hard Rock Cafe, earning her band the chance to record a demo. Balancing her role at Marel with her love for music, Monica practices regularly and finds great joy in sharing her talent with her colleagues, who are her biggest fans. Her advice for aspiring singers? “Start by taking singing lessons to build confidence and practice in front of smaller crowds, like at friends' gatherings. Most importantly, enjoy what you do—singing is about having fun!” #MarelVoices #Singer #CustomerSupport #FollowYourPassion #EmployeeSpotlight #WorkLifeBalance

    𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟕𝐱 𝟓𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐱𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐫! On September 19, Marel in the Netherlands honored seven employees who have reached an extraordinary milestone—each of them has been part of Marel for a remarkable 50 years. Since 1974, Hein Annema, Riny Engels, Mathieu van Hal, John Hoffman, Wiel Nuijen, Toon Schaap, and Kees Vloet have contributed their skills and dedication to Marel. In an era where long-term employment is uncommon, their 50-year journey reflects the supportive and engaging workplace Marel strives to create. Their loyalty showcases how Marel’s culture fosters respect, involvement and professional growth. Families and colleagues joined the jubilant event, that started with an impressive line-up of limousines, followed by the awarding of honorary merit pins, and festivities concluding with a dinner. Together, Marel's 'Magnificent Seven' represent 350 years of combined knowledge and expertise—a legacy we are proud to celebrate and cherish. #Marel #EmployeeMilestone #Loyalty #Teamwork #Boxmeer

    🌟 Marel Voices: Meet Sean Mills 🌟 At Marel, we take pride in supporting the passions and pursuits of our employees both inside and outside the workplace. Today, we’re excited to introduce Sean Mills, an Engineering Manager in Colchester, UK, who has a deep passion for rugby as both a player and a coach. 🏉 With over 22 years of experience in senior men’s rugby, Sean has been a club captain at Harwich & Dovercourt Rugby Club and now dedicates his time to coaching the next generation. He’s currently working towards the England Rugby Coaching Award and finds immense joy in guiding the U7s and U8s, including his own son, Jonny, in the sport. Balancing his role at Marel with his rugby commitments requires careful planning, but the support from his colleagues and the flexibility of his work schedule make it possible. Sean’s love for the game is fueled by the camaraderie, teamwork, and positive impact rugby has on the community. Sean’s advice for anyone interested in rugby? “Take the leap and join your local rugby club. Whether it’s touch rugby or the full-contact game, you’ll find a welcoming environment, new friends, and a sense of community. Give it a go—you might be surprised at how much you enjoy it!” #MarelVoices #RugbyLife #EngineeringManager #Teamwork #CommunitySpirit #EmployeeSpotlight
