Meanwhile, the firm consists of shareholders Sven Vandepitte, Dennis Augustyniak and St\u00e9phane Kempenaers. In addition to these three rope access experts, the firm also has a large database of colleagues who assist them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A Never Ending \u201cAdventurous Journey\u201d<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>

Sven Vandepitte and Dennis Augustyniak both spent their youth in a Belgian army camp in Germany where their fathers were stationed. Afterwards, both Sven and Dennis also went to work for Defense and joined the paratroopers. Later Dennis went to work as a chief instructor at a training center for offshore work. As freelancers for altitude work, Sven and Dennis’ paths crossed again and they also met ex-military man St\u00e9phane Kempenaers. Together with a fourth colleague, the freelance rope technicians in secondary employment started the company For Heights in early 2018. Today, Sven, Dennis and St\u00e9phane are still the proud owners of For Heights rope access solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
