4 hours, Juan in less than 3 (!), we never saw
him … and the goal for next time will be less
than 4 hours. Juan? Guess we will still not see
him as he is speeding away …
There are a number of candidates who
consider joining next time and I herewith ask
them to get going, start training, don’t give
up, join us.
Since at the exact same time of the 2013 Cape
Argus Race we will have the 2013 Worldwide
Meeting in Istanbul, I am afraid we will therefore
not be able to come to Istanbul…
Just kidding, but we prepare for the 2014
Cape-Argus and many more to come. I talked
to the oldest participant after the race, 94
(ninety-four) years of age. He finished in unbelievable
5 ½ hours, wow. Hats up, that man
got my respect. No excuses for us, get going.
We should do this more often, in other
parts of the world as well, and we can use
the Worldwide Circular to distribute the ideas,
running, cycling (mountain or road), triathlons/
ironmans all in the Hellmann colors, true to our
slogan ‘the young company since 1871’.
One final thought and wish: Shortly after the
race our cycle buddy René Baumann got diagnosed
with cancer. I understand he is doing a
lot better now and that the treatment works.
Here is hoping René will be back in good
health and shape very soon, and we can call
him René ‘Lance’ Baumann in the next race.
Get well soon, René Baumann
HEllMANN UK ANNOUNCES pARTNERSHIp WITH
DIEHl SpEDITION
Matthew Marriott, Hellmann Lichfield
Hellmann UK has announced a new
partnership with Diehl Spedition in
Stuttgart. The partnership, which will
commence on June 01, 2012 will see
Hellmann UK’s operation for European
Land services working with Diehl Spedition
on distribution on a cross continental
level.
The new cooperation means that both companies
will operate a daily groupage system
between the Hellmann UK hub operations in
Lichfield and Basildon to Stuttgart and back
based on express trailers, allowing Hellmann
to continue its development of the German
market with key System Alliance Europe
members. Diehl Spedition, which recently
joined the Gebrüder Weiss Family, will have
the key benefit of the complete Star Service
structure. The Star Service structure is a newly
launched Hellmann service offering that
provides customers with special transit time
options. Within the partnership with Diehl
Spedition, both companies will be able to
offer 48 hour door-to-door services with key
features including pre 10am deliveries and
allocated time slots.
The daily system that Hellmann UK will
run with Diehl will compliment our current
structure and enhance the service and
growth potential for the German market.
Diehl Spedition is a well respected organisation
and therefore the opportunity for both
businesses to prosper is excellent. Dieter Alber,
a member of the management board of
Diehl Spedition, also comments that he sees
great potential in developing the market further
with Hellmann UK due to the 1st class
quality of both companies which will cement
the market leading position of Diehl in the
Stuttgart market.
