It was not only raining awards during the Logistic Manager of the Year election; there was also plenty of knowledge sharing and getting to know fellow professionals. An impression of the day in fourteen images.

Job Sonke, logistics manager at Hollister Inc. is Logistics Manager of the Year. "Job is a logistics manager, but actually much more than that," the judges' comments read. "He set up a whole new distribution centre and moved the entire operation a few years later. The fact that all the staff went with him to the new location says enough about Job's attention to the human factor."
