Belgian Operator Guy Jacobs Takes European Operator Championship
The final of the LANDCROS European Operator Challenge has found the most talented operator in Europe – Guy Jacobs from Belgium. He competed against eight other contestants from France, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the UK to win the competition, which was held at Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME) in Amsterdam.
The inaugural event on 11 September followed nine qualifying rounds hosted locally by leading European dealers between May and June. The national champions then met in Amsterdam to compete in eight fun and engaging skill-based tasks, using reliable orange Hitachi machines to demonstrate their capabilities.
Guy emerged as the winner after winning four of the tasks – he achieved the same score as second-placed Dutch competitor Tjerk Segers but completed the challenges in a faster time .I doubted myself all day, wondering if I was good enough, particularly after the flying bottle challenge didn’t go so well! I’m usually focused on precision and balance, but it was speed that made the difference today. In recognition of his achievement, Guy receives an exclusive trip for two to Japan. I’ve never been before so I’m very curious about the country and I definitely want to see the Hitachi Construction Machinery factory.
