An evening with Bernard and Alexandre Helson

The BMMA and CBC Banque & Assurance present:

Did Marketing exist 180 years ago ?

At Dandoy, we have always celebrated simple pleasures. Our biscuits are hand-made by the skilled workforce at our Brussels workshops, and are brimming with flavour and generous in character. They are also 100% natural, exactly as our grandfather made them over 180 years ago. Since then, our famous speculoos (spicy biscuits), our little biscuits and other gorgeous delicacies have won a place in the hearts of several generations of Brussels residents. Maison Dandoy, spectaculoos speculoos.

Bernard Helson, CEO – Maison Dandoy

He started working for the company in 1984. In the last thirteen years spent in charge of the Brussels-based SME, he has considerably modernised and developed the brand, particularly by opening new sales outlets.
