Sport overview 2023
Gosselin aims to achieve the label of "Sport Company" and emphasizes on more exercise for all colleagues. We made a pretty decent start in 2023 with numerous sport events.
Antwerp 10 Miles
Around 10 colleagues participated in the Shortrun this year. It consisted of a cool course of 6.8 kilometers around the Galgenweel. There were many supporters along the route! After the race, the participants caught their breath at our Gosselin stand and looked back with satisfaction on their athletic achievement.
Our 10 Miles runners arrived back at the Gosselin stand after 16 kilometres, tired but satisfied. We ate a bite, had a drink, and compared running times. It was nice to meet each other outside of office hours. What a TOP sports day! This tasted like more..."
Young Forward soccer tournament
FC Gosselin put their best foot forward at the Young Forward soccer tournament. The team consisted of a nice mix of players from different departments!
Cockerill beachvolley
Two Gosselin teams participated in the afterwork B2B Beach Volleyball tournament, organized under the iconic Havenhuis. Soon, they and some other colleagues will also participate in the Hellvoc Business Trophy Beach Volleyball. A perfect combination of team building and a warm-up for the real deal!
Hellvoc beachvolley
"Life is better at the beach, even when it's an artificial one." Gosselin participated with five teams in the Hellvoc Beach Serious Business Trophy. It is an annual beach volleyball tournament for company teams held in Schelle, near Antwerp. With a 6th, 7th, 10th, 19th, and 22nd place out of 24 teams, there is still room for improvement... See you next year!
Obstacle course
The Rumbeke Team participated in an Obstacle Run as part of Gosselin Sport! "The run was intense but super fun. We will definitely be back next year!" said the brave runners. Congratulations to Jonas, Pauline, Christine, Stephanie, and Hilde for their impressive performance
Padel - Italy
The teams from Milano and Rome came together for their summer 2023 team-building activity and season kick-off.
"The first part of the day was focused on a collaborative brainstorming session between the Operations and Sales teams. The second half of the day was dedicated to an enjoyable aperitif followed by a sports activity, specifically a game of Padel. We concluded our program with a pizza dinner, accompanied by lively music and a leisurely evening walk.”
Kom op tegen Kanker
The beautiful weather ensured a successful cycling event for "Kom op tegen Kanker" last Sunday! About 25 colleagues, proudly representing Gosselin, also participated and pedaled several kilometers for a good cause.
Mont Ventoux
🎵 Ain't no mountain high enough... 🎵
Gosselin colleague Hank Guns conquered the Mont Ventoux on his bike. Go Hank!
Port of Antwerp Bruges marathon
