Newco at BNR Radio
Listen to the interview with Frank van Oirschot (Newco FoodRetail) and Mick Walvisch (ULURU|Beagle) by Paul van Liempt (BNR) about de Culinaire Versmarkt.
Newco Food Retail
As of today, Newco Food Retail (an initiative of Frank van Oirschot and Mick Walvisch – ULURU|Beagle) has a vast distribution centre as a basis for their brand new platform. This new food platform is an answer to a dire consumer need. It supplies fresh quality menus and high standard products based on consumer profile. The Dutch have, undeniably, developed a preference for quality, health and fresh products. It is expected that this new platform by Newco will disrupt the traditional supermarket branch. A Newco spokesman divulges: “We just want our customers to enjoy high quality and healthy food. To get there we will go all the way.”

UB or not to be
As an entrepreneur you need to stay ahead of the game in order to survive. For this it is not enough to be “connected” to the immediate world around you (consumers, new trends and developments, competition, your people) but more importantly to be able to broaden your perspective of the future.
As ULURU|Beagle we thrive on these entrepreneurial challenges. We inspire and stimulate companies to look at their core business differently and to spot new horizons. We help companies to recognize new business opportunities, but also to realize them successfully.
Carpooling to Limburg
With a select group of people from different walks of entrepreneurial life U|B organized a trip on March 16, 2010 to various locations in Limburg. Goal: gathering insights and knowledge regarding food, the (odd) relationship between retail and consumers, growers, the science of nutrition, toxicology and metabolism (or: what can you do with food products from a scientific point of view).
investment in health
The ULURU|Beagle group as an open innovation atelier is focused on the development of new product and service concepts. A mix of intuitive market research (Beagle) and concept development including business and partner models (ULURU) leads to propositions that will quickly reach the desired yield and effect. Working on the principle of co-creation, we approach various parties in an early stage to involve them in the process and find the role they can fulfill. U|B acts as a matchmaker and helps forging business alliances.
Fruit Logistica Berlin 2010
Starting on the Fruit Logistica Berlin 2010, Jaguar The Fresh Company has launched a breakthrough initiative towards a collective sustainable future for all parties involved in the value chain, especially for consumers, retailers and growers.
This initiative intends to be different from all those cosmetic ‘marketing based’ certificates by pursuing sustainability as an integrated part of policy making and behaviour of all participating parties.
It represents an answer to the growing need of retailers and consumers for ‘pure and authentic’ information/content about food & sustainability.

Flexpark for Nissan: one in thousands
When Nissan wrote out a competition called ‘Think outside the parking box‘ to challenge the future of urban parking we knew we had a big chance with Flexpark. Many cities struggle with the parking issue, resulting mainly in higher prices (Amsterdam being the most expensive in the world) and expensive and risky parking garage construction projects in historic city centers. ULURU|Beagle thinks a lot can be gained from the space that is already there by using it more efficiently.
