About us

Our team of professionals

Anne Sevens

Permits and Guidance Manager

Together with my colleagues, I am an expert in permits, exemptions, and guidance for exceptional transport. This involves a lot of research and computer work. From time to time, I work at our external site to measure and inspect vehicles, for example by carrying out turning tests. We are also a preferred supplier for the German inspection authority TÜV. The work requires highly specialized knowledge and great attention to detail. Every country has its own laws and regulations. Since we operate internationally, we regularly communicate in both English and German.

Of all my colleagues, I live closest to our office in Hapert. I am a proud mother of a son and a daughter. In my free time, I sing in a choir and enjoy making trips and outings. During my years at E.S.P. bv, I have specialized in the Permits & Guidance department, and with passion for both the profession and our clients, I look forward to continuing to build on this work!

What I find special about working at E.S.P. bv is the personal and human approach. We operate in a sector often characterized by toughness and speed, so I truly believe this is what makes our company stand out!

Bart van Herk

Founder / Owner E.S.P. BV

As founder and owner of E.S.P. BV, I am involved in the daily management of our company. With great pleasure and passion, I go to the office or visit clients every day, dedicating myself fully to the world of exceptional transport. Maintaining client relationships, brainstorming creative solutions together with colleagues and clients, constantly looking for ways to improve, and supporting employees wherever needed—these are the tasks that fill most of my working days. Beyond striving to achieve the highest possible customer satisfaction, I also value seeing and supporting our employees as individuals. I find it important that they have a pleasant work environment and opportunities for personal development.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family! We love going out together and sharing good food and drinks. To balance this out, I like to go mountain biking or cycling to burn calories, clear my head, or take time for reflection. To truly switch off from work, I enjoy skiing holidays. The fresh air, beautiful nature, being active, and ending the day with great food—this combination makes it the ultimate form of relaxation for me. Luckily, my children feel the same way, which makes such holidays even more special. After a vacation, I always look forward to bringing my renewed energy back into E.S.P. BV!

Transporting Exceptional Loads Domestically and Internationally

Since 2019, I have been on the road every day for E.S.P. bv. No two days are the same; sometimes I transport oversized loads in lenght, other times in width. Often, the goods have a high value, which requires the utmost care and responsibility from me as a driver. In exceptional transport, it's not just about driving from A to B - it's also about ensuring proper load securing and strictly following the regulations set out in the permits. For larger loads, we drive with escort vehicles and within the permitted time windows. My works often starts on Monday morning, and I usually return home on Friday.

Weekends are reserved mainly for spending time with my family, although for me it also goes without saying that I take the time to clean my truck – just like you clean your house every week. For relaxation, I enjoy mountain biking in the wooded surroundings of the Kempen.

Administration and Support for Permits and Transport

At E.S.P. BV, I ensure that all administrative matters are handled with care and I support my colleagues in their daily tasks. In addition, I take care of the orders for our webshop and help organize activities such as staff outings.

I live in Best, and whenever possible, I try to cycle to our office in Hapert. My hobbies include cycling, skiing, shopping, going out with friends, and enjoying fun activities. I really love good company and laughter!

I have been working at E.S.P. BV since 2022, and I feel very much at home here. I can truly be myself and I’m given the space to grow and develop, which I really appreciate.

Permits and guidance

I recently started working with great enthusiasm at E.S.P. BV in the Permits and Escorts department. In my role, I dedicate myself every day to obtaining all the necessary permits on time and to assisting our customers clearly and efficiently with their inquiries.

At E.S.P. BV, we believe it’s important that our knowledge of laws and regulations is always up to date. That’s why we closely follow new developments and are committed to continuous learning. We also constantly look for ways to make our processes smarter and more efficient.

In my free time, I enjoy sports and regularly take part in fun activities. For me, maintaining a good balance between work and relaxation is important — and that’s something I can achieve here.

German Permits and Transport Guidance

At 24, I am the youngest member of the team. I live in Germany, in the city of Bottrop, together with my partner and our dog.

I don’t have any specific hobbies, but I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love doing activities with my partner and our dog – the three of us have already explored many cities together and created wonderful memories.

After completing my training as a freight forwarding clerk, I joined E.S.P. bv and immediately felt completely at ease. It doesn’t feel like I am going to work, but rather that I am spending time with my second family, doing a job that truly fulfills me and brings me joy.

In just a short time, I already felt as though I had always belonged here. At ESP, I am given both the trust and the challenges that I wish for my future.

At E.S.P. bv, I am responsible for the German permits department as well as for our German clients.

Patrick Nas

Guidance exceptional transport

As an independent contractor, I provide escorting services for exceptional transports on behalf of E.S.P. BV alongside running my own business. Since my company is located close to E.S.P. BV, I can respond quickly when needed. With my background as a driver in exceptional transport, I know exactly what to pay attention to and can ensure that transports are guided safely through other traffic.

Because of the irregular working hours, I especially value the time I spend with my wife and children—although they are getting older and more independent every year. We also have a dog, and we love going for walks in the woods. In addition to driving the escort van, I also enjoy riding my motorcycle.

Permits and guidance

At the office, I make sure that the necessary permits for the Netherlands and Belgium are arranged. In addition, I organize the guidance for exceptional transports. But my work is definitely not limited to sitting behind a desk. I also regularly join one of our guidance vans to guide transports safely from A to B. What I really enjoy is this variety: the combination of organizing and planning, while also being out on the road myself.

I started working at E.S.P. BV at the beginning of the summer of 2025. Soon after, I was able to obtain my certifications to provide escorting in both the Netherlands and Belgium, which allows me to gain plenty of practical experience. This, in turn, helps me in my office work.

At home in Helmond, I live together with my little dog. In my free time, I love going on long walks or taking a weekend trip with my dog which I enjoy just as much as my work.

Sander Smit

Transport coördinator

I dedicate myself every day to ensuring that our clients’ operations run smoothly. I take great satisfaction in seeing that special transport projects are executed on time and with precision. In addition, I am actively involved in driving the development of automation within the organization.

I can apply and share my many years of experience in the automotive sector with both colleagues and clients. In addition, I enjoy continuing to learn and develop professionally.

I am married and a father of two growing teenagers, and we live in Mierlo-Hout. In my free time, I lead an active social life, enjoy playing tennis, and contribute to our local tennis club.

Working at E.S.P. BV represents an exciting challenge for me within a growing organization, where initiative and proactive thinking are valued.
