| dbo:abstract | Willy Naessens (born on 14 February 1939 in Wortegem-Petegem, East Flanders, Belgium) is a well known industrialist in Belgium. Naessens grew up in a modest family. At a young age, he started a construction business called "Naessens Constructions", specializing in constructing big - but rather economised - industrial buildings and swimming pools. He became one of the most powerful Belgian industrialists. Nowadays, his corporate group participates in many branches of the construction sector, and in non-construction businesses, such as restaurants and sports-teams. Nevertheless, he always gave a share to charity. For instance, he became very popular by paying a very expensive organ transplantation for a Belgian child. (en) Willy Naessens (Oudenaarde, 14 februari 1939) is een Belgisch ondernemer en eigenaar van een groep in industrie- en zwembadenbouw uit Wortegem-Petegem die zijn naam draagt. Hij sponsort voetbalclub KSV Oudenaarde en is shirtsponsor van eersteklassers Waasland-Beveren, SV Zulte Waregem en het Nederlandse RKC Waalwijk. Ook sponsorde hij geruime tijd een wielerploeg. Naessens is ook bekend als paarden- en koetsliefhebber. Op de prestigieuze jaarlijkse paardenwedrennen Waregem Koerse organiseert hij sinds het begin van de 21ste eeuw een "Willy Naessens Hat Trophy", een hoedenparade en -wedstrijd, gebaseerd op die van het Engelse Ascot. Hij werd vooral bekend door het programma The Sky is the Limit op VIER waar hij drie seizoenen meedeed. (nl) |
