we from the orange turn

We are Annemieke and Bink Schippers. As our shared name suggests, we are married. Originally from the Netherlands, we are both around 60 years old and now happily living in Berlin, the vibrant capital of Germany. Over the years, we have gathered extensive business experience across various fields including retail, communications, hospitality, and management. Now, with this project, we want to share some of the lessons we've learned—and more importantly—our ideas.

a joyful take on entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is a unique journey, full of peaks and valleys. With this website, we aim to inspire—making the highs even more enjoyable and helping to ease the lows. Through The Orange Turn, we explore topics like management, customer service, safety, commerce, and more—with an open, curious mindset. We take our inspiration from people who have something meaningful to say and share.

food for thought

Our goal is to be a source of inspiration for both small and large businesses. With our inquisitive nature, we aim to cover a wide range of topics to inform and provoke thought—especially in the realms of management, marketing, safety, sustainability, and ethics. We strive to always remain true to ourselves and our authentic voice.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.
