Founders

Gert and Arjan van der Pligt are at the heart of Pligt Professionals. They share a passion for using their Dolc'Amore gems to transform any home into a place where people can unwind and feel at ease.

Nothing makes Gert van der Pligt happier than walking among the plants in the greenhouses. Sustainability is on Gert's mind every day. He tackles challenges head-on and is continuously innovating the business, bringing a sustainable future ever closer. And when all of the above results in top quality, his day is made. "The loving smile after someone gifts or receives a Dolc'Amore gives us a warm feeling every day. That's what we do it for," Gert says proudly. "That is why Dolc'Amore plants are stunning flowers with a golden edging."

Arjan likes nothing better than being among people. With his sociable and approachable nature, he tries to bring out the gold in every employee. "Each person within our company adds something unique. It is very important to us to go for great results together, as a team. When a beautiful batch leaves the export room in the afternoon, on its way to happy consumers, I feel so very proud of our people who have prepared the flowers with care and love!"
