FRANKIE SOENEN
We have been able to rely on Frankie as a driver for 41(!) years now. When he started, he only delivered our pork around Belgium, but this calm, friendly, flexible and independent driver has since expanded his range to the entirety of Europe. At present, you will run into him primarily on British roads: a choice he does not regret. The traffic is more pleasant and the roads are wider there. When he is in Belgium, he likes searching for calm spots, whether or not behind the wheel. He also enjoys horseback-riding with his family.
