You've been with Frey & Frey since 2018. What can you do for yourself and the company?
Since I started working at Frey & Frey, I have been able to develop both personally and professionally. After starting an apprenticeship as a painter, which wasn't quite my thing, I found my passion in logistics. This decision showed me how important it is to find the right place in professional life - a realization that I can now pass on to our apprentices as a vocational trainer. I see apprentice training not only as a great responsibility, but also as a wonderful enrichment for me.
Through my experience and commitment, I can make a positive contribution both for myself and for Frey & Frey - be it in the training of young talent or in my day-to-day work, where I ensure quality and efficiency.
Where do you see the strengths of your company?
We implement our projects carefully and yet with the necessary flexibility, so we can also make changes at short notice. and special special customer requirements. Ourr Our focus is on clear communication and accuracy - so that processes run smoothly, errors are avoided and customer satisfaction remains high. This is howwe all contribute to the fact that Frey & Frey daily as a reliable partner every day.
Where do you get the inspiration and energy for your day-to-day work?
I draw inspiration from my previous experience in various companies. I compare what has worked well where and use this knowledge to optimize processes.What is particularly important for me also exchange with colleagues - through our new ideas arise from our discussions, with which together drive forward improvements can. This team spirit gives me energy and motivation for my day-to-day work.
What is the best way to switch off?
I can recharge my batteries very well by simply spending time with my family and friends. I particularly enjoy discovering the world with my loved ones when I'm traveling, seeing new places and gathering impressions - it gives me energy and new perspectives.
Another important balance for me is field hockey. I'm a center on the ice. I originally played soccer, but after an injury, a colleague got me into field hockey - and that made my boyhood dream come true. Playing hockey allows me to switch off completely, burn off energy and clear my head.
How do you live and what is important to you? Is this space also a reflection of your identity?
We live in the countryside, but close to the city - the ideal location for us. I enjoy nature and the peace and quiet just as much as being close to the city when I need it. Our apartment on the first floor with direct access to the lawn also offers many advantages for family life with children: plenty of space to play, fresh air right outside the door and an environment in which everyone can feel at home.
A minimalist, uncluttered style is important to me in my home. For me, external order creates inner order, and this is reflected in our home. Nevertheless, it should be cozy and familiar - a place where everyone feels comfortable and enjoys spending time. Our home reflects a lot of my personality: structured, yet relaxed and open to whatever comes next.
Your personal favorite brand / favorite architect?
I don't have a particular favorite brand, but I appreciate quality and well thought-out design. I like my BMW X1 therefore especiallyit is the perfect blend of comfort, driving pleasure and functionality. I also attach great importance to good equipment when playing field hockey. Whether for sport or in everyday life: high-quality products that last a long time and simply work well are important to me.
