Who are the “Associates”?

I’m often asked, “who are the ‘Associates’ at Van Tholen & Associates?”  Let me introduce you to our leading “Associate”.

Ed Dryfhout and I were co-owners in a waste collection company for 17 years.  It was a great partnership, where Ed managed our fleet, and I managed sales and administration, and together with a remarkable staff, we shared responsibility in leadership and managing the day-to-day operations.

In Ed’s role as Fleet Manager, he spec’d our trucks and containers, managed maintenance and repair of our fleet, rebuilt collection vehicles, initiated our tire management program and undertook initiatives in the areas of safety, productivity and leadership that contributed to our company’s growth and health.

Now, he serves our clients with the knowledge and experience based on over 30 years in the waste industry.  From designing maintenance programs to making recommendations on products, services and procedures, Ed can help keep your fleet running reliably and effectively.

If you are faced with tough decisions regarding buying, selling or operating your equipment, Ed is here ready and willing to help, bringing you value by helping to manage your fleet better.  Reach out to us at Van Tholen & Associates to speak to Ed if you need to discuss improvements to your fleet management!  Call today at 616-813-1657 or fill out the contact form at vantholenassociates.com.
