Meet Our Team

Melissa Hodžić – van Gaalen

Administrative assistant

After a number of years working mainly in the insurance business, I was looking for something different.
I recently joined Novum Timber, a job where my two interests come together: administration and wood!
A few years ago I started making furniture, in my spare time I am very busy with this and therefore you can usually find me in my workshop.
In addition, I have been a horse girl since childhood and I own two beautiful horses.
Here at Novum, you can find me at the office. Here, I deal with invoices, purchasing contracts and everything related to this.
In between, I also try to learn something about these great products that are sold here.

Dick van Leeuwen

Inkoop & Verkoop

With almost 20 years of experience in selling hardwood and managing an import company, in December 2019 we set up a hardwood import company with Novum Timber BV that wants to distinguish itself in the market as a transparent company that wants to focus on a sustainable and legal product. I am adept at developing sales & marketing ideas and being able to apply them directly in practice. With my passion I am driven to follow all wood trends and to translate this into targeted possibilities. I am a committed person, with a great sense of justice and and a gaze that always looks over the horizon. In my spare time I like to spend time with my two daughters and wife. For relaxation, I like to hit a ball on the tennis court and of course cheer on my favorite football club!
