Hans van Hal

My name is Hans, and I’m the founder of Haldu Groep. A few years back, I passed the director’s baton to my son Danny — a true family business through and through. Nowadays, I stay involved as an advisor and sounding board within Haldu.

Every fortnight, I join the management meetings to share direction, knowledge, and experience. It keeps the company sharp — and keeps me happily engaged.

Outside work, my heart still runs on petrol. From enduro bikes to race cars, mountain passes to sand dunes: I’ve clocked plenty of miles and adrenaline. I’ve even ticked off the Morocco Desert Rally in a buggy — an adventure that stays with you for years.

Where I used to spend most of my time on a motorbike, these days you’ll find me more often behind the wheel of a powerful car. Not because the bike’s any less fun — but cooled seats on a hot day do have their perks. 😉
Speed, sound, freedom… but with a touch of luxury and the window down, because good weather means driving.

At home? That’s where my greatest pride lies: my family and three wonderful grandchildren. Being a grandad might just be my favourite role yet. Time with them is pure treasure.

Regularly, I head out with my son — sometimes on two wheels, sometimes four. New routes, new countries, new miles. Because standing still? That’s not in my vocabulary.

Always on the move, always curious, always enjoying the ride. 👊✨
