I joined the team on 1st July 2011 following the conclusion of a new contract for which my knowledge and love of electronics and audio/video made a very useful contribution. For me, the “world of network IT” was a discovery that brought a fresh surprise every day. Thanks to my colleagues’ expertise and the excellent team spirit, my skills in this field have grown considerably.

Bert De Schryver

Assistant Direction Technique

My experience as technician at Vandenborre gave me the opportunity to get used to the technology world. This is why I was really interested to join the A.N.S. “family” as technical assistant. After a warm welcome, I’ve quickly taken my place in the team even if I am the youngest of A.N.S. My biggest passion being Real Madrid, I was really willing to work for A.N.S. because they have an office in Madrid.
