Employees of De Prael

De Prael Brewery was established in 2001 by Arno Kooy and Fer Kok. The aim of the brewery is first of all to get delicious draft beer, but also to create workplaces for people whi are disadventage in the working field. According to De Prael, everyone deserves the same opportunities. The labor market is not inclusive, there are many people at home who would like to work, but for whom opportunities have been taken away due to circumstances. They believe that the labor market should adapt to this ever-growing group. "A labor market should be accessible to everyone" according to Arno. Arno and Fer started De Prael together to fill the gap in the labor market and to offer paid employment and training to people who have been put aside by society.
