The move abroad made double sense for Angelika. On the one hand, because her father has been living and working in Austria for 30 years. On the other hand, because she is a real globetrotter. "I like travelling as a way of life and have already been to 28 countries around the world. Ideally I travel as a backpacker. I find it extremely exciting because you can't plan every move. In addition, I have more contact with people and experience something new every day."
Angelika smiles and adds: "It's kind of similar at LKW WALTER." In fact, that's one of the main reasons that Angelika settled down with us professionally. "The climate here is so international. As a Transport Manager, I am in contact with half the world and never really know what the day will bring."
"As a Transport Manager I am in contact with half the world."

"I'm staying!" - It was with this clear decision that Angelika finished her internship in 2017 and started her career at LKW WALTER. The graduate in finance from Poland also listened to her inner voice, which has been calling for her to travel all her life.
"I like travelling as a way of life. At LKW WALTER that's part of the job."
Angelika's personal recommendation:
For anyone who wants to learn new languages, the WALTER GROUP is the place to be. Because further education and acquiring new skills in line with a person's interests is not just welcomed, it is actively sought.
