“Jaap's creativity, responsibility sense and achievement capacities represented an important asset during the period we enjoyed his company at CheckTheGate. We miss him and are quite attentive to his exploits in a future that we know will be brilliant.”

Jose Mineiro, Producer, CheckTheGate
managed Jaap Ruurd at CheckTheGate


“I have known Jaap Ruurd for almost 5 years. I am very much touched by his sincere enthusiasm on his field. He is so curious. Running after what he wants. Either in Africa, or in Europe or in Turkey. Jaap Ruurd really focuses on his productions and realizes them. I am many times asked to write a recommendation, but this one makes me feel happy and priviliged. It is always very honorable thing for me to follow Jaap Ruurd and the way he works for his productions. I know he already started making his steps towards his aim. I support him from the highest level of my perspective. It is great honor for me to write about him.”
