DAF Vocational Event in Germany

“Moving people”

This September (2020) I was part of a DAF Vocational Event in a quarry in southern Germany. We were a team from three different nations including my German, Dutch and Austrian colleagues. Our aim was to make DAF's expertise in the construction sector ‘tangible’ for both the press and customers. Afterwards we also trained the Sales Team of our DAF Dealers in order to improve their knowledge here as well. We held that event under the impression of the corona pandemic – a tough cookie for us all.

My very special ProudDAF-moment was the finding that all our colleagues involved gave their best for the success of that project. I'm not only talking about our colleagues from Germany, but also about our Dutch and Austrian colleagues, who all naturally sacrificed their weekend in order to make this event a success. Nobody felt a shame to wash the cars, to observe the special hygiene regulations under Corona, or to prepare everything for the next day – even when it was late in the evening.

Thanks to this great team effort, we were able to host 11 journalists from two countries, 66 customers and 82 salesmen as our guests over five days. They all got a very positive impression of DAF, its vehicles and the people behind them.

In these moments, I am proud to work at DAF, because for us it is all about the people who move us.
