Hellmann welcomes over 160 new recruits

In the year of the company's 150th anniversary, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics is welcoming over 160 new recruits in Germany alone. After the trainees were welcomed on site at the 26 training companies on August 2 and given their first insights into their working environment, a Germany-wide digital kick-off event took place yesterday.

A highlight of the virtual event was the appearance of influencer Sidney Hoffmann, who stands for a hands-on mentality and is therefore not only a prominent role model for the trainee generation, but was also able to convey to the new colleagues what is necessary for a successful career: motivation and passion for what you do.

"Logistics is an extremely important industry for all of us - we've known that since the coronavirus crisis at the latest. But many people don't realize just how exciting, diverse and international the industry is. That's why I'm delighted to be able to take part in Hellmann's trainee event and show the new employees just how important their job is. Because with their passion, they make a real difference for all of us," says Sidney Hoffmann.

"Last year, with all its challenges, once again made it clear to us how important an agile and motivated team is. Our trainees are a very important part of the Hellmann team and I am delighted that we have been able to welcome so many new colleagues to our company again this year despite the coronavirus pandemic. Right now, it is particularly important to us to offer career prospects and attract young talent to Hellmann," says Sven Eisfeld, Managing Director Germany, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
