"Ewals Cargo Care saw something in me, that wasn't on my resume"

There are things you don’t learn from books, but in practice. If you have qualities like eagerness to learn, curiosity, and perseverance, you can go far at Ewals Cargo Care —even if you’re someone who thrives on hands-on experience. And if your name is Remi Peters.

They saw who I am as a person

Remi is a young thirty-something who, as a teenager, wasn’t very fond of school. “I kind of neglected it back then and joined the military at a young age—for a while. My first real job was as a warehouse employee. Shortly after, I started working at Ewals Cargo Care and quickly grew from assistant in the Trucking department to sales, then became a senior planner. Eventually, I moved into events planning (Remi casually mentions that this included organizing the transport of the Formula 1 caravan from one race location to another). In just seven years, I’ve made so many steps! Wow, really, when I look back.”

“Ewals Cargo Care saw in me what a resume can’t show,” Remi says. “They saw who I am as a person and that I was truly committed. I made the most of that opportunity—because that’s on you, of course. You have to take the chance you’re given and give your best. Then you can go anywhere here.”

A detour

“I’ll be completely honest. About a year ago, I felt stuck. I wanted something new and thought the grass was greener on the other side. I left Ewals Cargo Care (ECC) for another employer. Nothing wrong with that, but it didn’t give me what I expected. Then, an former colleague reached out—just to ask how I was doing and if we could catch up. We had coffee together, and that’s when it became clear to me: my heart was with ECC. That genuine interest and personal approach made such an impression! And I realized what I had here: how things work, the future prospects, and the willingness from management to support me. I came back. Back home. It felt so good!”

“What gets me out of bed every day? Well, honestly, it’s my dog who decides he wants to go out—very early! But when it comes to work, my engine starts running when I have a lot to do. When my day is wonderfully unpredictable. Hectic, always working together to reach the goal, no matter what. I love it.”
