Red Carpet for Heidi Senger-Weiss

It's now official: last Wednesday Heidi Senger-Weiss, member of the Supervisory Board and partner at Austrian logistics service provider Gebrüder Weiss, was the first woman to be inducted into the logistics pantheon amid much jubilation. 

150 guests of honour from the worlds of politics, science, industry and the media accepted the invitation of the Logistics Hall of Fame to celebrate the successful and inspirational logistics entrepreneur in the historic Erich Klausener Hall of the German Transport Ministry in Berlin. The glass-and-metal membership certificate was presented by Dorothee Bär, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, and Member of the German Bundestag Parliament.

Heidi Senger-Weiss' husband, Paul Senger-Weiss, held a moving congratulatory speech in honour of the new member of the Logistics Hall of Fame. He described his wife as a family entrepreneur  through and through, someone who always thinks in terms of generations and who never reacted hastily to quarterly financials. He outlined how she took over a regional freight forwarder in the 15th generation and worked in a team setting to successfully develop the firm into an international company. "With her expertise and commitment, my wife furthered the cause of the Gebrüder Weiss company and of the entire logistics sector, helping to underpin its key status in society and industry. Despite her success, she has always had both feet firmly on the ground, also with a constant awareness for the demands of her second job, namely as a mother of three children", Senger-Weiss emphasised in his speech.
