Frits entered service with Verschoor & Bras in 1993 and has been a partner in the company since 2001. Just as all experts at Verschoor & Bras, he is deployable on many fronts, while his preliminary education and experience give him supplementary knowledge in the nautical domain.

He became a managing director of Verschoor & Bras in 2006. Marinco Survey was acquired in 2013, the shares of which were transferred to the V+B Group together with those of Verschoor & Bras. In 2017, the V+B Group also acquired the shares of Marintec Expertise from Cees Touw. Frits has also been engaged in general management tasks in addition to his work as a marine surveyor.
