My full name is Roos Ait Moh Nait Lhaj – Nijs. A beautiful and long surname that I owe to my husband. Over 42 years ago, I married Hamid and we are still very happy together. Together we have two sons, Tarik and Samir, and we can proudly call ourselves grandparents. I adore them! It’s a joy to have grandchildren like Jazz (12), Jelaara (11), and Lola Rose (9).
I’ve been working as a receptionist at TICA in Venlo for five years now. Along with my reception colleagues, I’m the first point of contact for TICA members who have been purchasing from us for years, as well as for those visiting the location for the first time. I talk to so many people in a day; it’s really enjoyable.
Years ago, I saw a job opening at TICA on Indeed. I applied. I was actually surprised to receive an invitation for an interview. After all, I was 61 years old at the time. That apparently doesn’t matter at TICA because I was hired!
When we’re all sitting at the table together as a family. I thoroughly enjoy that! My eldest son works at a music venue in Venlo, and my other son is a DJ/producer traveling the world (Moksi). When possible, we gladly look after our grandchildren. My husband is retired and often takes care of them when I’m at work. Sometimes they stay overnight; very cozy. Besides my (grand)children, I also have one lovely daughter-in-law. In short, I have a wonderful family!
The Tombola! During this ‘TICA-madness,’ every colleague has a chance to win multiple items (that can no longer be sold) from the cash carry. Additionally, I really appreciate when we unexpectedly receive a gift at home or receive a bonus.
We obviously have so many different exhibitors at TICA, but when I think about it now, I find the items from MrsBLOOM, Dutch Style, Light Living, Colmore, and Kersten the most beautiful.
