Origin story

Gomibo Group (originally MobielWerkt B.V.) was founded in 2006 by Jeroen Doorenbos and Jeroen Elkhuizen. At the time, the telecom market was highly chaotic, with numerous providers all claiming to offer the best deal. The focus was on hitting targets rather than meeting customer needs. The two Jeroens decided to change the mobile world by truly putting the customer first.

National recognition

Having moved from a student room to an office on the Grote Markt in Groningen, Belsimpel steadily gained national recognition in the early 2010s. The animated TV commercials featuring founders 'Jeroen & Jeroen' went live, and the 100,000th unique customer signed up shortly afterwards.

Start-up

Students and housemates Jeroen Elkhuizen (left) and Jeroen Doorenbos had spare time and entrepreneurial drive. In an era where providers made outrageous offers to sell phone contracts, they came up with Belsimpel — a platform designed to be clear and, above all, honest!
