I've had the pleasure of working with Vidal for six months. In that time he has shown to be an eager learner, fast worker, and reliable colleague. Vidal pays attention to detail and he is always focussed on the job at hand. With his knowledge of the accessibility guidelines, he tested and improved the accessibility of our website. ~ Helen Boots @ Gemeente Medemblik

Vidal is an honest worker with a lot of skills. He is eager to learn, works quickly and with his quiet and humorous personality is a pleasant addition to the team. Vidal is the silent force that every business should have. He constantly surprises you with his versatility and the work he provides. He really is a value to every workplace where he will arrive in the future. ~ Tessa Stassen @ Gemeente Medemblik

Vidal has never let me down in any request I made to him.
