Kuehne+Nagel, a market leader in logistics has recently taken up residence in the smart new energy-efficient Aberdeen International Business Park, opposite Aberdeen airport.
The move to these new offices supports Kuehne+Nagel’s sustainability objectives, helping it to be more agile and leaner while, at the same time, closer to its customers.
In the spirit of sustainability, the team has ensured the move was as environmentally-efficient as possible by donating desks no longer needed to local businesses and a local mosque. Additionally, crockery has been donated to the Wreck Rooms in Aberdeen, who partner with local recycling centres to ensure everything is reused or recycled.
Aberdeen branch personnel also teamed up with Mental Health Aberdeen, who were also moving offices, by offering them office furniture no longer required. Chris Fowlie, Aberdeen branch manager, Kuehne+Nagel said: “Not only does this mean furniture doesn’t end up in land fill but it also enables us to support a charity that we all have a great deal of respect for.”
Colleagues in the Aberdeen team are particularly proud that the move has been a great success and are ready for years of prosperous business.
Chris added: “The office move was well-planned and well-organised, allowing us to move in one month, instead of six. We’re pleased it went so smoothly and now we’re ready to offer our flexible solutions to customers from a fantastic strategic location.”
