Inverness Transport grows against the flow

Where many companies are dragging themselves through the economic crisis with difficulty, Inverness Transport BV is, strikingly, making a profit. Over the last few years the company from Zevenaar has even grown against the flow. Manager Richard van den Dolder is proud of Inverness Transport’s tempestuous growth. Nine years ago he was the foundations of the logistics company. Starting out as a self employed company, Inverness Transport now has four employees and transports countless agrarian products throughout the whole of Europe. “The emphasis in our work is on the agrarian transport of mainly potatoes, onions and carrots. Our assortment is growing gradually. We also know what to do with vegetables, fruit, cacao, coffee, nuts, sugar and grains.”

Inverness Transport fills the positions of a bridge between customer and buyer. Distinctive character is the personal service offered. Den Dolder: “It sounds so simple, but it isn’t. We distinguish ourselves from many other colleagues with the extra personal attention that we offer our customers. It’s unusual in our branch. Basically, we make sure that the product is transported safely from A to B. But in the meantime we also take away all the hassle that surrounds transport and the customer. We take care of it completely. The customer doesn’t have to worry about it at all. We make sure that the transport is done well and that the customer is satisfied. This is why, as a manager, I often travel through Europe to personally meet my customers and chat. This extra attention on all sides is important.” Inverness Transport is able to transship truck on location in Zevenaar. For instance to collect multiple shipments and send them by truck. “This increases speed and saves costs.”

The Inverness Transport specialists already know their way throughout Europe. There is close contact with the responsibilities at loading and unloading areas and the agrarian products are packaged and transported with care. They collaborate with various transporters from all over Europe for this. “This way we can switch very flexibly if a customer wants to receive a shipment sooner, for instance, Any transport is possible, such as tautliners, cooling and bulk trucks, hopper barges, walking floors and kippers.”
