Hans Lodder
Working forward for DHV, Lodder was commissioned between 1971 and 1974 by beer brewery Heineken to coordinate and supervise the civil work of the expansion of the Heineken brewery in Lagos. In that period he was also asked to help with the expansions of two other breweries. As new brewery was planned in Ibadan in 1974, Lodder suggested that DHV set up a local office in Nigeria to have the detailed engineering carried out there, in addition to the preliminary and final design by DHV Netherlands. His proposal was approved and in 1975 he founded DHV Consultants Nigeria Limited and managed the firm until 1978.
