In the world of logistics, where change and dynamism are the order of the day, constant development is essential. Florian Schmitt, who has now been with Nagel-Group for over two decades, has an impressive career in logistics characterized by continuous learning and adaptation. From his apprenticeship as a forwarding agent to site manager in W\u00fcrzburg, Florian has mastered a variety of challenges and gained valuable experience that has shaped him both professionally and personally. In our interview, he provides deep insights into his career, the challenges that have shaped him and the philosophies that guide him as a manager.<\/p>
Florian, could you give us an insight into how your impressive journey at Nagel-Group began?<\/b><\/span><\/p>My career at Nagel-Group began 22.5 years ago, when I started my training as a forwarding agent in September 2001. Even then, my focus was on dispatching long-distance transport, which continued after I took over as a classic dispatcher. In 2014, I was appointed department manager and three years later I was promoted to transport manager. In September 2019, I took over the position of Forwarding Manager and was responsible for the relevant area. When the opportunity to take over the site management in W\u00fcrzburg came up towards the end of last year, I immediately decided to do so. Since February 1, 2024, I have officially been site manager and see my journey within the Nagel-Welt as a continuous development and enrichment.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
