CAR BODY REPAIR SHOPS IN SPAIN; complete lack of structure...!!

It's a sector with an enormous potential, the independent Car Body Repair Shops (talleres de chapa y pintura) in Spain. Thousands of  profesional companies, big and smaller, prepaired to work hard but without structure.

It looks like big clients like insurance- and lease companies are just forgetting them, because it's so hard to find them. There is no organization which represents them (like a national)........ but it's going to change!

STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY is offering them a structure, to make them visible and help them in the battle in a suffering market. A structure where improvement of quality, complete transparency of processes, advanced automation, professional training and local and national marketing come together. We are creating a network of Car Body Repair Shops all over Spain, to form a serious player on this market and an interesting partner for insurance- and lease companies, fleetowners and private persons.

SPANISH AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR; DO OR DON'T...??

Spain, a country in a difficult economic situation. The problems on the financial markets, collapsed real estate market, a lot of unemployment etc..... Almost everybody in Spain has been exposed, directly or indirectly, to the effects of the huge dip the country is living.

But even during the worst crisis there are possibilities to make dreams come true, undertake action, be pro active and build..... and that's exactly what STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY is doing! A new organization on the Spanish Automotive market, built on stable pillars; key word is COLLABORATION. Cooperation between professional, open minded organizations, all with their specific qualities.

After a period of bringing together the several parties, the construction of a new concept on the Spanish automotive market is taking place. Bit by bit we approach the moment of revealing this concept, but everybody who followed this blog will more or less have an idea of the big lines of our concept.

Let it be clear, STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY is ready to start up this rervolutionairy project; a partnership with specialized professionals in a sector with FUTURE, the Spanish Automotive market....

Hasta pronto,

Edwin Stolwijk

"THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL"

Bit by bit the expansion of Stolwijk Consultancy is becoming reality. A lot of thinking, a lot of meetings and presentations in the last months, but it's clear....... the opportunities coming my way are there with a purpose. I can't let them slip out of my hands with the excuse that my organizationn is too small, or the fact that a day only has 24 hours, etc. etc.
So, the expansion of Stolwijk Consultancy will be reality soon. An expansion without loosing personal contact with relations, without giving in on quality. Expansion with the objective to be more efficient, being able to offer more services with a better quality and being flexible and advanced.
Coming 2 weeks some important meetings, and than the strategy and policy are ready to unroll..... Stolwijk Consultancy, a new, progressive, revolutionairy consultancy organization is ready to surprise Spain!

 "THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL"

NEW PARTNERSHIP COMING UP......!!

STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY is about to gather it's strength with one of the world's biggest and most powerful certification organizations in a promising partnership....
After a period of exploring the possibilities, we found the right concept.

The mutual interest of both parties in a steady growth on the Spanish Quality Management market is the foundation of this new, strategic collaboration.  A collaboration based on trust, faith, and respect. The result will be a structure offering practically all the services existing on the field of Quality Management. From consultancy, development, training to auditing and certification.......

Within a few weeks this partnership will be formalized; that will also be the moment to reveal the name of the new strategic partner  of STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY.

We'll be in touch...!!

BACK IN BUSINESS!!

After a removal, as well private as business-wise, we are "back in business". From my new office, 20 minutes from downtown Barcelona but with views on the beautiful mountains of the Montseny, I'm picking up the activities I (partly) had to leave for a week or two.

Now, with my battery charged, we are prepared to face the 8 months the year 2011 leaves us; a period of opportunities passing by, ready to be picked up. A year of growth in many ways, in spite of (or thanks to...?)the crisis in Spain. Crisis brings possibilities, crisis is an ideal period for start ups, but it requires flexibility, power and energy.

I'm very happy with the fact that I possess these 3 qualities; and it pleases me even more that in this year 2011 I find myself surrounded with people & organizations who have the same qualities, allowing me to build up some very special projects in the coming year(s).

We'll be in touch soon....!!!

Professionalization Back-office systems in Spanish automotive sector

Although the quality of the average Spanish bodyshop (repair and painting of cars) is improving considerably, there is still a  lot to win on the administrative / management side of the sector; efficiency, cost saving, management reviews, process control and transparency........ a proven Back-office system can mean a huge added value for every serious company on the Spanish automotive market, but also for groups of companies colaborating in a certain area or all over Spain.

At this moment STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY is talking with a few high level providers of Back-office and ERP providers; we are setting out to enter the Spanish market with a revolutionary Back-office system during this year 2011!! 

Besides of the product quality, we require more of a future partner besides providing a Back-office system. Kewords are flexibility, eagerness, future and strategy. For STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY the year 2011 will mean growth; not only in sales and turnover, but more in reliability and possibilities.
We want to become an authority on the Spanish automotive market, and the best partner  for all the Spanish bodyshops in the field of Quality Management, Market Strategy and Process Control.......

At short notice we will reveal our new partner.........

Hasta pronto!!

QUALITY MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL HOLLAND!!!

TAILOR MADE QM Systems, for every type of company in every line of business!!!
Keep following us........

QUALITY MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL ORGANIZATONS

One of the most important and influential branches in the sport-business is football (soccer); popular all over the world, enormous number of players and above all: serious business. Until only a short time ago these organizations where managed by (goodwilling) amateurs. With all my respect, and mostly very competent people with a big heart for the sport.
But times are changing; professional football organizations are more and more considered, treated and managed as a company, which is quite rightly. With this change of mentality we also see that these professional football organizations are starting to use professional management tools, with Quality Management as one of the possibilities.
This is where STOLWIJK CONSULTANTCY enters; representing a combination of years of football experience on top amateur level,  more than average interest for the international football scene and consulting companies in different branches with improving there performances based on Quality Mangement........ we experience interest from Dutch football organizations in the highest league (Eredivisie) in Quality Management and are going to do something with it!

Tailor made Quality Management for professional football organizations on the highest level in Holland!! Follow STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY, a new activity is about to be born...

EUROGARANT STANDARD IN SPAIN

Last week I had a meeting with a representative of the AIRC.  One of the items on the agenda was the problems  between the CETRAA and AIRC; the CETRAA is considering leaving the AIRC. The result will be that it's going to be impossible to implement the Eurogarant Standard in Spain.

This also would affect our project...... we planned to set up our QM System based on the Eurogarant Standard, and also certificate our system on that standard.
But, after this conversation I feel we have an opening. With the volume of our project with the BASF Bodyshops  we might be able to colaborate with the AIRC directly. This would be fantastic!!

On short term I will speak with the board of the AIRC about this; I'll keep you updated!!

Regards, Edwin

STRUCTURE....

As mentioned earlier this week I had the meeting with mr. Armando Higueras, secretary of the CETRAA; we had a very interesting conversation about the Spanish Automotive sector.

It's very clear, there is a lot to do and with our project with the BASF organization, and we can deliver a big contribution regarding quality management in this sector. And quality management also includes environment - minded management and working conditions in the bodyshops. There are some movements of some organizations in the Spanish automotive sector (AENOR, Gremio in Alicante.....) but it needs some follow up... and that's where we enter.

In the beginning of February we will take some strategic decisions, meanwhile we continue to set up the Quality Management system for the bodyshops in the BASF organization.
I'll keep you informed.

Regards, Edwin Stolwijk

Meeting with CETRAA

Thursday the 13th of january I have a meeting with the management of the CETRAA, the Spanish organization for bodyshops. Possibly the start of an important partnership between our project and the CETRAA.

The implementation of a structure for Spanish bodyshops, based on quality of the organization and with that the delivery of a good product, a great development for everybody!!

More information later this week,

Regards, Edwin Stolwijk
