New manager appointed at CQR Amsterdam

Varekamp Air, which joined Conqueror in February 2011, is proud to announce the appointment of its new Airfreight Manager, Mr Wouter Brand

Speaking about CQR Amsterdam, Mr Brand said, “It is a unique player in the market because it is the only Freight Forwarder in the Netherlands which makes tailor-made industrial packaging for its clients, often at the factory where the goods are produced, in addition to offering all modes of transportation.” Mr Brand brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this position. After 18 years at KLM Cargo, he was made their Operations Area Manager of Northern Europe, a position which he held for two years until 2000. Over the past ten years, Mr Brand has held management positions at TDG (Europe) and Swissport Cargo Services (the Netherlands).

Mr Brand says that his plans for Varekamp Air are, “To grow it into a medium-sized competitive company with a highly motivated workforce. Being part of Conqueror will definitely help in this, thanks to the vast coverage and its professional members, whom I am looking forward to building mutually profitable relationships with.”

We welcome all members requiring assistance with shipments in Amsterdam to get in touch with the Varekamp Air team.
