Why Bram chose to do his semester abroad in Innsbruck is easily explained: Because snowboarding is great around Tyrol's state capital. So great in fact, that after his studies he focused his career choices on Tyrol and gathered information about up-and-coming companies from his former Erasmus coordinator. His professor immediately recommended the WALTER GROUP, due to fact that some of his former students have found their professional future with us.
"Of course, I didn't stay here because of the snowboarding. I simply enjoy the freedom of being able to develop independently at LKW WALTER. For example, I alone decide in which country I establish transport partners, which customers I acquire or when/where I travel."
"In the transport industry, creativity and good ideas are also in demand."
Bram V. H., Director of Operations with a creative streak
If you decide to move from Belgium to Tyrol, you must have good reasons. Bram's reasons were the good experiences he had during a semester abroad in Innsbruck. And the opportunity to unleash his creativity in solving tricky logistical challenges at LKW WALTER.
“At LKW WALTER I have the freedom to develop independently.”
Bram's personal recommendation:
It may come as a surprise to some, but creativity and ingenuity play an important role in the transport industry too. Because there are always completely new, unpredictable situations to tackle. In that sense, I can highly recommend the WALTER GROUP to creative types.
