Board member Steel & Barnett
Feb 2024
Since 2015, Steel & Barnett has focused on creating wrist outfits with different raw materials, focusing on items that are not only inspired by natural elements but also timeless, classic designs. Originally started as a personal project by two young entrepreneurs, Yoshi and Steffie, STEEL & BARNETT is growing into a global brand, providing signature, exceptional leather wrist bracelets for discerning customers aligned with timeless styles. We started STEEL & BARNETT in 2015 in a small home office, initially creating some beaded bracelets for friends and family. Both of us were still working full-time and saw this project as an opportunity to create an additional income stream that could potentially evolve into something more. We threaded the first 50,000 pearls, but the story didn’t end there: our initial “side hustle transformed into a fully-fledged business and today, our brand has about 800+ retailers worldwide -and we are still growing! During the beginning phases of our business’s rapid growth, we partnered with a tailor-made company as part of our expansion plans. We further saw an opportunity for more job creation, and since the end of 2018, detainees from the Bruges prison have been working for Steel & Barnett. Proudly handmade in Belgium. From the selection of raw materials to the finished product, we take a detailed approach with each of our designs. This is, after all, the kind of approach that is expected of every handcrafted product in Belgium. Proudly locally made with a global mindset, we take exceptional care with all of the elements we source in creating our leatther bracelets and gemstone creations. Our raw materials are sourced from all over the world, starting from South Africa to Denmark. We also have a state of the art manufacturing facility that is equipped with sophisticated machinery and a pool of talented manpower. his combination produces high-quality genuine leather that is durable and perfectly suited for everyday wear.

De missie van Stad Roeselare bestaat erin zich te profileren als een aantrekkelijke en groeiende centrumstad. In dit hele verhaal staat het personeel centraal. Zonder een gemotiveerde en hechte medewerkersploeg kan deze opdracht immers niet slagen. In de nieuwe organisatiecultuur staat vertrouwen centraal. We evolueren naar een organisatie waar vertrouwen de basis vormt voor ons denken en handelen. Door de invoering van het flexibel werken wordt dit vertrouwen in de medewerkers dan ook benadrukt. Medewerkers krijgen dan ook veel verantwoordelijkheid, een verantwoordelijkheid om goede resultaten te boeken voor de dienst en voor de organisatie. Door zelf de arbeidstijd te kunnen afstemmen op de eigen wensen en behoeften, creëert dit een hogere werktevredenheid. En tevreden medewerkers met een hoge jobfierheid...daarvoor doen we het. Want...., Roeselare is 'r voor jou!
