Entrepreneurial heart Geert Bouwmeester was only 22 when he started his own business in 1924. A landing was converted into office space and the first policies were delivered by bicycle.
Since then, our company has grown enormously and a lot has changed. But despite this growth, we are still an independent family business and we still work from our entrepreneurial heart.
Independent advisors Our society is becoming increasingly complex. Private individuals and entrepreneurs need someone who knows them and who provides advice that is tailored to their personal situation, wishes and possibilities. That is why we work closely with independent advisors, who are uniquely able to put together the right solution. Wide range We offer our customers a wide range of financial products and insurance: non-life, income and life insurance. We have structured our organization in such a way that we can respond quickly and decisively to developments in the various submarkets. We are increasingly concentrating on solutions for entrepreneurs; This fits in well with the entrepreneurial character of De Goudse. On the international market, De Goudse focuses on travel and expatriates insurance. Branches and labels De Goudse's office is in Gouda, while the De Zeeuwse Verzekeringen business unit is located in Middelburg. VLC & Partners is located in Den Bosch and The Hague and also has a subsidiary in Apeldoorn: ENgage Werkgeversadvies B.V. The Dutch operating companies – with the exception of De Zeeuwse Verzekeringen, VLC & Partners and ENgage Werkgeversadvies – operate under the label 'De Goudse'.
