Who are we?

Iris Komen   

Iris obtained a BsC from Tech College 'De Maere'  in Enschede and followed the shortened curriculum for International Technology Development at Eindhoven Technical University. She subsequently joined a designer label for men, but in the end decided to follow her heart and go to Africa. In Congo she worked in a textile factory and taught sewing techniques in an orphanage. 

After her Africa adventure and several jobs with textile companies she first joined Bo Weevil in 2003. In 2008 she left to work as a purchaser for Fair Trade Original, but in 2014 her heart led her back again to Bo Weevil. In October 2014, she became the proud owner of this 25-year old company. You can now find her in Bo Weevil's brand new office in Nieuwegein.

Jan Schrijver 

Realized his dream in the early eighties and started his own projects to source ecological cotton in Turkey. In a time when hardly anybody believed ecological cotton had a future, he started Bo Weevil BV (named after the friendly cotton beetle) and was the first to bring certified eco-cotton clothing onto the Dutch market.  His vision proofed to be right, as the popularity of eco-cotton clothing has boomed in recent years.

Thanks to another one of Jan's cotton projects, 5000 Uganda farmers and their families had a stable income for 10 years in a row. Jan's vision on sustainability and fair trade form the rock-solid basis on which Bo Weevil was built and continues to operate.

Esther Keddeman is responsible for Bo Weevil's marketing and corporate communications. With her creative ideas and visions, she ensures good visibility and presentation of our mission and our products, always with the intention to create a better future.
