Question: What can we expect of 2017 ?
Rotterdam is a magnet to hard working people, they are also called workaholics.
The last years there is only growth in companies which are suppliers of ‘smaller’ things.
Especially these companies give the working atmosphere a positive flow in the market and the growth of turnover in my native city Rotterdam.
In the beginning of December 2016 we were reading in the media that there is 1% less turnover in port business in 2016 against 2015.
Only the smaller companies who are more flexible and can react faster than the bigger companies have a positive growth of 3%.
For our company the last years has been good years, we’ll even have a better year in 2017, just because we want to stay “small’ with a smile.
This year we have been attending with our own stand at the Intermodal in Rotterdam.
We received from Andrea Maertzdorff about 50 PortGuides, which have been taken away from our table faster than our own adverts which we had in our stand!
We want to thank Andrea for all her work and input with which she’s still making progress, always finding people who are interested in putting their advertisements in her PortGuide.
Finally the answer tom our question is: Also for 2017 there will be always people standing behind every company. Only with their efforts, input and their experience we can make each year better
