Owner Chris-Hans van der Hout started the company in 2007. "From the start there was quick growth in the company. Each year we added staff members and lorries." In a previous interview Chris-Hans already mentioned that the team at Freight Line is one big family. "And that is still the case. The atmosphere with us is first class and colleagues are very happy with this. A large part of life is spent working. That should be as positive as possible. What is actually better than to arrive at work with a positive feeling and knowing that you are appreciated? In the end this attitude is noticed by the client as well."
"The sector has really been damaged and this we have not forgotten" the owner says. "How did we handle this? By means of creativity and hard work." Chris-Hans looks at the year with mixed feelings. "It is not going well in the sector and the margins are under pressure, but nevertheless we want to get everything possible out of it. We will not just give in, but fight for a positive result. As far as new markets are concerned all options remain open and we find out what could be of interest to us."
Freight Line have specialised in the transport of cargo to the United Kingdom. The spread of clients includes amongst others importers, exporters and shipowners
