Meet our CORE team
Your Symo Parasols team is dedicated to helping you every day. The fundamental basis of our way of working is trust. Each team member is given and takes responsibility for achieving common goals.
Our team takes every decision based on three CORE values, which happen to be captured in the acronym CORE. It stands for:
- Courage: everyone takes their task to heart and chooses the best solutions. The best solutions are often not the most obvious: we are constantly looking for even better ways of working.
- Responsibility: we never let go of our tasks, our colleagues or our customers. If we can help, we will.
- Respect: In every decision, we take into account the people affected by the decision.
COurage + Responsibility + rEspect = CORE.
What does this mean for you as a customer?
Quite simply: if you choose a Symo Parasol, you will get our team on board.
We aim for very satisfied customers. That's why we continue. We will continue until you are satisfied.

Parasol Coach - Owner & CEO
Pierre Christiaens
I wake up with parasols and go to sleep with them. I even wrote a book about them to help you decide:
"Pick the right parasol (and your terrace will be packed)".
