Well-organized: the sustainable mobility of MAES notaries

"We guide our clients through the moments that truly matter in life," says Geert Janssen of MAES Notarissen. "We do this for individuals, businesses, and government agencies." The full-service firm in The Hague, the Rotterdam area, specializes in family and inheritance law, corporate law, and real estate. "At the end of the day, we take care of the formalities; our real work is providing peace of mind, reliability, and security."

The world is our playing field

Anyone who thinks a notary mostly sits behind a desk is mistaken. At MAES Notarissen, a full-service notary office in the Rotterdam-The Hague Metropolitan Area, everything revolves around people and personal contact. "We're not 'sitting ducks' who only move when we hear the gravel crunch," the notary says with a smile. "We actively engage with the public, are visible, and want to be close to our clients. Fast, smart, and sustainable travel is therefore a must. That's where electric cars quickly lead you. And Eneco eMobility."

Mobility and people-oriented entrepreneurship

Not all appointments take place at the office; sometimes you need to be on-site quickly. "Recently, I received an emergency call from a woman whose husband was in the hospital and urgently needed to draw up a will. That same evening, I was at his bedside arranging everything." These kinds of situations underscore how crucial mobility is in the notary's field. "We have hubs in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague, so we can also meet our clients there. Only with efficient mobility can we achieve personal contact. And when we're on the road, we want to do so in the most sustainable way possible."

MAES notaries opted for Eneco eMobility

At first glance, the world of a notary seems far removed from that of an energy supplier, but appearances can be deceiving. "I know Eneco as a premium brand that clearly states what it does and does what it says. That aligns with the innovative type of notary office we represent. And we want to deliver high-quality services in a transparent and customer-focused manner. This shared DNA was the basis for collaboration between Eneco as our energy supplier and partner in mobility solutions."

From orientation to personal touch

Nevertheless, the choice for Eneco eMobility still stemmed from an orientation process. "We requested and compared several quotes. Ultimately, Eneco offered us the most certainty in terms of quality, reliability, and service," explains the notary.

"We also liked the idea of a one-stop-shop: gas, electricity, charging stations, and charging cards under one roof." The notary's sustainable ambition aligned seamlessly with Eneco's vision: promoting electric driving as a logical step toward a cleaner future.

Another decisive factor was the personal and fast service. "I called for information, and shortly after, someone was at our office to discuss everything. No complicated processes, no long waits. Just a friendly guy who took care of everything for us."

Own charging station, own look

The implementation of the charging solutions went smoothly and efficiently. Another great example of their proactive approach was Eneco's input on the visibility of our charging stations. Instead of using their own logo, they suggested using the MAES notary logo. We thought that was a nice gesture: the charging stations are a service provided by our firm to our clients.

Employees and customers are also responding positively to the charging facility. "It contributes to the positive experience we want to offer as an office. Customers can charge their cars while they're in meetings with us. It's a small effort, but it makes a big difference in service."

Future and tips

At MAES civil-law notaries, growth and innovation are paramount. "Our practice is growing steadily, and we see the importance of sustainable mobility only increasing. As our number of employees and clients increases, we will proactively respond with new mobility solutions."

For businesses considering installing charging stations, the notary has a clear message: "Do thorough research and compare providers. Just like with notaries, not all providers are the same. Don't just consider the price, but also transparency, service, and reliability. We strive to avoid surprises, and that also applies to our choice of providers."

With this collaboration, MAES notarissen and Eneco demonstrate that sustainability and mobility go hand in hand. Their shared vision of quality, service, and responsibility makes them a perfect complement. "Good for each other, that's our motto. And with Eneco eMobility, we've found the ideal partner."
