The importance of networking

For some people networking seems unnecessary. They see it as small talk and begging for favours. Vertraco disagrees just like experts do. "The most connected people are often the most successful. When you invest in relationships - professional and personal - it pays back in dividends throughout the course of your career." In this blog we tell you how networking got us a new partner and an interesting booking.

"It can always be useful"

Two years ago during a meeting about marketing we started talking with Bongers Movers, a trustable family business that has worked overseas since 1920. Because of its huge experience Bongers can organize and perform the most complex removals for households. Sounds like a job Vertraco can help with! We exchanged our contact details, shook hands and added each other on our LinkedIn pages. You never know what the future will bring, it may always be useful.

Supermaritime

And it was: Two years later we received a call from Bongers. One of his clients was moving to Paramaribo so he asked if we could ship their cargo. Of course we can! As you can see below the goods were loaded aboard ship Albemarle Island by Supermaritime Vlissingen. And they were shipped to Paramaribo.
