Today, Volendam Music celebrates Petra Penning's 35th anniversary. Thirty-five years ago, Petra founded the company together with brothers Jan and Jaap Buijs. In the days of The Cats and Next-One, Petra was already working tirelessly. She has been an indispensable part of the company for years, performing all kinds of tasks.

This afternoon, Jan Smit surprised her during a special lunch with an award and a flower arrangement in honor of the anniversary.
