‘Bringing out the best in myself and others’
‘The ideal solution every time at Gelder Logistics’
Anyone calling Gelder Logistics can now also get Noah Robijn on the phone. The 22-year-old trainee planner reinforces the nicest team of Barneveld and surroundings 4 days a week, so that he can devote one day each week to his Logistics Management studies at the HAN in Arnhem. A perfect combination, according to Noah.
“On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I enjoy working in the office at Gelder Logistics.” Combining his studies and a job as a transportation planner is not new to Noah. “Until recently, in addition to studying, I worked part-time at Spyder Couriers and Transport, Gelder’s sister company,” says the fourth-year student. “The guidance from colleagues feels like a warm bath. And my school assignments tie in nicely with my job. At the HAN, for example, I learn a lot about the supply chain, finance, innovation and sustainability. I hope to really contribute to Gelder Logistics with my knowledge on these topics.”
Challenge and variety
Noah really likes working at the transportation brokerage. “When processing assignments, it’s a nice challenge every time to provide the ideal solution. It feels like a kind of sport! I also like the variety in my work, of which customer contact is a fun part.”
Fat ride for transportation broker
The VVOP soccer player, who grew up in Voorthuizen, currently lives in Barneveld. “But I still feel like I live in Voorthuizen. I go there to play soccer, meet up with friends and my father lives there.” Besides being a lover of sociability, for example in the third half, Noah can be described as a real pitbull: if he has a goal, he goes all the way for it and doesn’t let go until he has succeeded. “I also like to put that decisiveness to use at Gelder Logistics. I hope to continue working here long after I finish my studies. It seems cool to work together to expand the transport broker even further.” What can you wake the ambitious planner up at night for? “To schedule a fat ride, of course. A nice assignment in groupage, FTL or LTL! And for a plate of lasagna, haha, that too!”
