DanZep Hotels B.V.
Between 1999 and 2008 we've been involved in real-estate development with Dutch Development B.V. Out of that experience and our friendship with UK entrepreneur Dan Metcalfe came an opportunity (in 2006) to do easyHotel.com in the benelux. We're opening several easyHotels, the first will be at the Ferdinand Bolstraat in Amsterdam.

Micreos
Together with entrepreneur Mark Offerhaus we executed the buy out of this bio-technology startup. In 2006 we started the worlds first commerical Phage Production Center in Wageningen. In June 2007 EBI Food Safety B.V. received full FDA approval for its listex product. The name was changed to Micreos at the end of 2010 to underline our growing ambition in the emerging field of bacteriophage applications, including the market for Human Health products. Micreos is now the global leader in this field.
