Nobel Capital Partners and Kenonz have entered into a strategic partnership. With this partnership, both parties join forces to accelerate the further growth and professionalization of Kenonz. Kenonz, founded in 2013 by entrepreneur Gouke de Vries and headquartered in Gorredijk, has grown into a leading secondment of professionals within the public sector. From multiple offices throughout the Netherlands, Kenonz mediates experienced professionals and trainees at municipalities, provinces, housing corporations and other (semi-)governmental organizations. The organization now has hundreds of seconded professionals and has a strong reputation built up in the social domain, spatial development, business operations, civil digital information provision/IT and sustainability. Kenonz is known for its entrepreneurial culture, personal approach and strong focus on people development. With the entry of Nobel as a strategic partner, Kenonz wants to further accelerate, including through expansion of the national network, investments in digitalization and further growth of the organization. In addition, Kenonz will selectively look at acquisitions of other quality secondment firms that fit the entrepreneurial culture, people-oriented approach and long-term ambitions of the organization. For Nobel, the partnership is in line with its strategy to - in close cooperation with entrepreneurial management teams - to help companies grow further and realize their ambitions.
