Chris | Senior Account Manager

My name is Chris, Senior Account Manager for the United Kingdom. My role includes various responsibilities from providing training to clients, attending trade fairs, to working on large scale commercial projects.

I started at Van der Valk Solar Systems in the United Kingdom back in 2017 as an Account Manager. At the time, I worked in a small office housed within the warehouse as part of a team of three.

The progress we’ve made since then has been truly incredible. Today, we’ve established a firm position in the market. Our team has grown fourfold, and we recently moved into a brand-new office that reflects our success.

Our rapid growth can be attributed to the Valk philosophy: teamwork, mutual support, and, most importantly, making work enjoyable. What I appreciate most about working for Valk Solar Systems is how we treat every customer with the same level of care and attention. Whether it's a 10kWp or 8MWp project, we ensure expert advice from the design stage right through to delivery.

The greatest satisfaction I get from my role comes from seeing a project installation completed. I take pride in knowing that our team helped the customer achieve their goal

As part of an international company, I can rely on my colleagues across Europe whenever I need support. We truly feel like a family, and over the years, I’ve formed countless friendships. My favourite moments are visiting our NL head office a few times a year to catch up with everyone and enjoy fantastic parties together.

The future looks bright for Van der Valk Solar Systems. Together, we are committed to the ultimate goal of making the Earth carbon neutral. It gives me immense satisfaction to know that I am part of this journey, and we are ready to face this challenge head on.
