Jean-Pierre van Beers, interim managing director at Springplank<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

Jean-Pierre van Beers<\/b><\/a> He took up the post of interim managing director at Springplank in mid-May 2026. He will hold this temporary role until November 2026, with the aim of ensuring continuity in management, organisation and service provision.<\/strong><\/p>

The past few months have been\u00a0Springplank Foundation<\/b><\/a>\u00a0It has been a period of change. Following years of growth and development, the organisation launched a renewed vision in October 2025, centred on the individual and with a clear ambition: by 2030, no one will be forced to sleep rough. Guided by this vision, Springplank remains committed to providing people who are homeless, or at risk of becoming so, with security in terms of housing, work and participation in society.<\/p>

Founder Thijs Eradus has indicated that, following thirteen years of committed leadership, this is the right time for him to take the next step and leave the organisation. As the founder of Springplank, he has made a significant contribution to the organisation\u2019s development and built up an extensive network in Eindhoven and beyond.<\/p>

Jean-Pierre is working alongside the staff at Springplank to ensure a smooth transition and the organisation\u2019s continued development. In doing so, he is focusing, amongst other things, on strengthening collaboration and leadership within the organisation, improving financial management and the planning and control cycle, and simplifying the governance structure.<\/p>

Jean-Pierre van Beers:
\u201cSpringplank has a dedicated team, a clear social mission and a strong DNA. Our strength lies in the way we offer people new prospects every day. I look forward to working alongside my colleagues and partners over the coming months to fulfil our social mission and further develop the organisation.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/header>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
