Logistics from the scratch: Andreas Wolff started his career as a forwarding agent. In his 45 years of work, he has always remained loyal to the industry and has worked for various logistics companies such as Quandt and Hövelmann, as well as for his uncle's forwarding company. His focus: food logistics. He is now bringing his accumulated experience to us and, as head of the refrigerated transport department, is responsible for setting up and expanding the new "temperature-controlled transportation” service.
Three facts about the new service

- In the medium term, all routes are possible both nationally and internationally
Three questions for Andreas Wolff
Why are you fascinated by the logistics sector?
Logistics is subject to constant fluctuations and therefore always remains exciting. In the past, there were mainly seasonal cycles, but today the fluctuations are almost impossible to calculate. Accordingly, even greater flexibility and responsiveness are required. This means that the work is never boring.
What is important to you in everyday working life and working together?
For me, fair cooperation and reasonable and respectful interaction are the basis. It's important to accept other opinions, even if you have a different point of view yourself. In this respect, I really appreciate the working environment and spirit at Rieck.
And how do you relax in your free time?
Spending time with my family or riding my motorcycle - often without a destination. That's the best way for me to switch off and relax.
