Base Logistics

We extend our warmest wishes to all our colleagues, clients, partners and their families in the US on this special day. May your day be filled with joy, celebration, and cherished moments with loved ones. This Fourth of July, we reflect on the values of liberty and unity that drive us forward in our mission. Enjoy the festivities and stay safe! #FourthOfJuly #IndependenceDay #BaseLogistics

Today, it is exactly 20 years ago that Alfons Dons enthusiastically walked in for his first working day at Base Logistics, at that time still located at the Daltonstraat in Zwijndrecht. Alfons joins us on July 1, 2004 as Operations Manager and over the years more and more sales is part of his job. In 2008, he officially becomes Key Account Manager, allowing him to call himself the contact person for a number of our larger customers. And "no day is the same," says Alfons, who can now refer to himself as Sr. Director Key Accounts. And he still enjoys going to work every day and says it gives him 'a kick when we arrange or solve something for the customer, and we get acknowledgement for it'. We are proud that Alfons has been with us for this many years, and we will of course put him in the spotlight appropriately!

Thursday, 4 April has been declared National Colleague Day in the Netherlands and naturally, we won't let that pass us by unnoticed! It is the day to express your appreciation to those colleagues who are always ready with advice, offer a listening ear or lend a helping hand when needed. On this day, we recognize that we have great colleagues and how important they are to our work environment. Today, we offered our employees the opportunity to put a colleague in the spotlight by writing ánd delivering a card. Once people started to hand out their cards, we saw many happy faces everywhere! 😊 #colleagueday

"Time flies when you are having fun at work," according to Petra Babois. And that time is exactly 15 years today, from the moment Petra knocked on Base Logistics' door for her first workday. At that time still in Zwijndrecht, where she joined the Finance Department as a Finance Agent. We are proud that Petra has been with us for this many years, and we will of course put her in the spotlight appropriately! With a move in between, in 2017 we moved into our new head office in Moerdijk, Petra remained loyal to the department and her position all these years. On 1 November of last year, she became Senior Finance Specialist, fitting for the years of knowledge and experience she has accumulated in her career in the meantime.

"For the tenacious, no road is impassable." That is Giso Drinkwaard’s life motto and with that in mind he starts his workday every day. And he has now been doing so for exactly 15 years for our organization! We are proud that Giso has worked with us for so long and we are of course putting him in the limelight appropriately! Giso began his career within HealthLink as a Customer Service Representative. He remained loyal to the Customer Service Department in various positions until last year, with a brief foray into Account Manager. Last July, Giso took a different path and became Business Process Engineer for Base Logistics Group, in the Projects & Business Process Improvement department.

Thank you, Service Industry Association (SIA), for welcoming us as the newest member of your community! We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to contribute our knowledge and skills, fostering connections, sharing insights, and growing together with fellow members.

'Working hard and getting great results.' That's what Christiaan Hamer, Chris to intimates, says about the work he does at Base Logistics. And today he has been doing that for exactly 15 years. We are proud that Christiaan has been working with us for so long and of course we put him in the spotlight appropriately! He started at Base Logistics in the warehouse and made the switch to Inventory Management in 2015. Exactly 13 years after joining, he took on the role of Manager of Inventory Control, the position he still holds today. Only when inventory accuracy is sky-high and our customers are happy, Christiaan is also happy. #jubilee #logistics

As we bid farewell to the old year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the collaborative journey we shared. Wishing you a spectacular New Year filled with achievements, joy, and endless possibilities! #HappyNewYear #CheersToSuccess

We wish you Happy Holidays! May your holidays be filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished moments.

A big Thank You to our emergency response workers for their contribution to a safer work environment! Today is the Day of Emergency Response ('Dag van de bhv') in the Netherlands and on this special day we put our emergency response workers in the spotlight for their commitment to health and safety in and around our organization. Our Emergency Response team members act immediately when necessary, but also proactively think along to prevent accidents and incidents. These colleagues are invaluable, and today we want to emphasize that! #Dagvandebhv #SafetyFirst
