Born and raised in Lommel, Lodewijks previously spent five years working at the Soevereinstadion before taking on a new challenge at Limburg employers' organisation Voka - Chamber of Commerce Limburg in the summer of 2024. There, he served as Manager of Entrepreneur Relations and Partnerships. Lodewijks now returns to Lommel SK to take up the role of Commercial Director.
Lodewijks is delighted to return to the club close to his heart: "I'm very happy to be back at Lommel SK. After two great years at Voka - Chamber of Commerce Limburg, I'm ambitious to continue building on the club's commercial growth. Our unique location at the heart of the growth regions of North Limburg and Brainport in the Netherlands offers great opportunities to connect ambitious and growing businesses with our club. Through unique activations, outstanding hospitality experiences and smart content on the right platforms, we have already proven our ability to accelerate business growth. In addition, I will make it a priority to use our carefully developed Brand Strategy to build a strong and loyal fanbase that continues to grow sustainably. Thirdly, we want to create memorable experiences and make an impact both on matchdays and beyond. All of this takes place within an international framework that offers our partners unique opportunities."
Interim Chief Executive Officer Nick Rondelez commented on Lodewijks' return: "As a club, we are delighted to welcome Lennert back to Lommel SK. I have worked very closely with him in the past and know his qualities, drive and strong connection to the club. I therefore have every confidence that, in his role as Commercial Director, he will make an important contribution to the continued commercial and strategic growth of Lommel SK."
