Children's media company Dromenjager is proud to announce the completion of an agreement in which ownership of Dromenjager and the popular children's brand Woezel & Pip will be transferred to Van Hoorne Entertainment with effect from today.
Twenty years after Guusje Nederhorsts' creation of the Netherlands' favorite dogs, owners Dinand & Lucy Woesthoff have decided that now is the right time to pass on Dromenjager, with the aim of cementing Woezel & Pip's place in the hearts of Dutch children for generations to come .
Van Hoorne Entertainment and Dromenjager have been working very successfully together on Woezel & Pip theater productions and events since 2008. It is this history, the shared love for the Woezel & Pip brand, the joint proven success and the ambitious plans of Michael van Hoorne, that make it the logical next step for Dromenjager to pass on the dream to Van Hoorne Entertainment.
“Woezel & Pip have been running through their beautiful Magic Garden with many generations of children since the first book in 2005. It is literally an unprecedented success fairy tale story by Dutch standards. We as Dream Hunter, but especially us as Lucy, Dinand (and certainly Guusje), want nothing more than for Woezel & Pip to continue playing with all children, from everywhere, forever. Now, from today on, our friends continue to run with the enthusiasm of Michael van Hoorne and everyone at Van Hoorne Entertainment. On the way to many beautiful, new days and new adventures. What is real survives everything. Guusje. And now also us. Hello Woezel & Pip, great best friends. We love you very much. You guys are so nice. Just keep playing nicely. Forever. With all the children from everywhere!”
Dinand & Lucy Woesthoff:
“It is an incredibly beautiful and special day for me and my company. If you can work with the nicest and sweetest dogs in the country, you are a privileged person. Working with a brand that has been designed in such detail and built with so much love and care is incredibly special and beautiful. Woezel & Pip have been part of my life for 15 years, during which time I have been able to learn a lot about the world of Woezel & Pip and especially learn a lot from Lucy and Dinand about the core values of the brand. I have seen for 15 years how much impact these two have on children and their families. It is an honor to continue that work and add it to our wonderful company. We welcome Woezel & Pip to our family and we will embrace them with great love.”
