Meet the Tricks team
Creativity, experience, and the pioneering spirit to make big things happen. We believe these are the ingredients for a powerful marketing campaign. Thankfully we all share these things in common at Tricks for Bricks.
Peter De Smedt
Managing director
Marketing is second nature to Peter. From confectionery to forklift trucks, insurance policies to cars, and pacemakers to real estate, there are few products to which Peter has not applied his training and expertise over the years. His passion for the sales and marketing has taken him as a consultant to leading companies, at home and abroad.
In 2007, Peter co-founded the first marketing agency specialising in real estate developments in Belgium. This provided new insight into the marketplace and Peter realised there were great untapped opportunities in this area. Which is how Tricks for Bricks came along.For Peter, free time means travel and new horizons. An enthusiastic sailor, he prefers destinations on the water.
Bart Uyttersprot
Advisor
Bart spent years analysing real estate opportunities.
At Tricks he also gained vast experience in sales and sales management.
Bart now applies his keen analytical skills, identifying the qualities and potential of our real estate projects and helping to define our overall strategy.
When not working, Bart can usually be found on or near a football pitch, keeping his eye on the ball and his mind on the strategy.
Thomas Van der Sypt
Residential Property Salesman
An invaluable member of the team, internationally-trained Thomas has years of experience as an estate agent. You can rest easy, knowing he will channel all this know-how into making your project a success. He learnt about the property business while working for the prominent Ghent-based estate agents, Defooz. Here he developed an insatiable hunger for sales contracts and happy customers. Though he may never be satisfied, that doesn't stop him!
In the rare moments that Thomas is not selling your projects, he is out riding his horse.
Jo Borremans
Project Manager
Jo Borremans is a born entrepreneur. He specialises in seeking out opportunities and seizing them at the right time. This is a skill that has served him well both in business and in his personal life, taking him and his family around the world by yacht. Jo now shares his philosophy and his success with Tricks and our clients.
Els Westhovens
Graphic Designer
Els has the full package. Ability, talent, insight and most of all, extensive experience. But you wouldn’t expect anything less from a graphic designer who made her name in the packaging world. And we think it’s great. Because it means that Els knows how to handle complex graphic models. And is an absolute force when it comes to branding and logos. We all benefit from this. Because good graphic design is about having an eye for detail. Which Els certainly has. Together with a charming Limburg accent.
When Els isn’t wrapped up in typography and printing techniques, she is on vacation. Preferably at a destination where there are awesome chefs.
