In November 2023, Ivan and Inna arrived in the Netherlands in search of safety and new opportunities. The war forced them to leave their home, but it did not break their faith in a better future. They became the very first employees of our company, Bridge, to start working at one of our partners – Boermarke, a company that produces yoghurts and cheeses.
Ivan and Inna quickly became part of the team, showing responsibility, diligence, and sincerity. They didn’t just do their work well — they brought warmth and a sense of connection that we value deeply. Their story became a symbol of resilience, trust, and new beginnings.
In the summer of 2024, while visiting their family in Ukraine during their holiday, they discovered they were expecting a child. It was an emotional and joyful moment, not only for them, but also for all of us at Bridge.
Later that year, they welcomed a beautiful baby boy named Matvii — the first child ever born to a member of our Bridge family. This milestone was a touching and proud moment for all of us. Because at Bridge, it’s not just about jobs and contracts — it’s about people, their stories, and the meaningful moments in their lives.
We celebrate this special moment with Ivan, Inna, and little Matvii. With gratitude and joy, we wish their growing family health, love, and endless happiness!
