In 2021, FIELDS partnered with Logistic Force to accelerate the company’s growth ambitions and further strengthen its leading position in the HR services market for Transport & Logistics in the Benelux. Together with founder Patrick Villevoije and CEO Martin van Dijk, FIELDS embarked on a shared journey to build the market-leading platform for flexible staffing, training, and recruitment in this vital sector.
In this interview, Joris van Gils (FIELDS) and Martin van Dijk (Logistic Force) share their views on what makes this partnership work. They discuss how a hands-on investor can add value beyond capital and how collaboration, trust, and transparency drive long-term success. The conversation explores the key ingredients of a successful buy-and-build strategy, the process of managing a founder-to-CEO succession, and the importance of maintaining entrepreneurial spirit while scaling the organization.
Together, they reflect on how to build a winning culture that attracts and retains talent, how to stay close to customers in a fast-changing staffing landscape, and how to balance operational excellence with continuous innovation.
The result is an authentic behind-the-scenes look at how FIELDS and Logistic Force work together to turn ambition into execution – and execution into sustainable growth.
