In a remarkable display of collaboration and educational outreach, BIZ Courier & Logistics GmbH recently hosted a group of students and teachers from Greece at our Leipzig fulfillment centre. The visiting group, from the 3rd Vocational Lyceum of Chalandri (3ο ΕΠΑΛ Χαλανδρίου), travelled across Europe to learn about top logistics and e-commerce fulfillment companies—and after touring several organisations, including our trusted partner DHL, they recognised both BIZ and DHL as their favourites. This recognition is a tremendous honour for BIZ, reaffirming our commitment to operational excellence and innovation in fulfillment.
A Journey Through European Logistics
The visit provided an immersive experience for the students and teachers, who explored various facets of modern logistics. During their time in Leipzig, the group witnessed first-hand how our state-of-the-art fulfillment centre operates. They observed cutting-edge technology in action—from real-time tracking systems to automated order processing—demonstrating how BIZ Courier & Logistics GmbH consistently delivers efficiency and reliability. The experience was enriched by comparisons with other industry leaders, highlighting the unique strengths that set us apart in the competitive landscape.
Inspiring The Next Generation
A highlight of the visit was the opportunity for aspiring professionals to receive guidance directly from our team. At the teachers’ request, the BIZ CEO shared valuable advice with all present students, emphasising the importance of:
- Being Dreamers: Envisioning possibilities beyond conventional boundaries.
- Taking Risks: Embracing challenges as opportunities for growth.
- Hard Work: Dedicating effort to achieve excellence.
- Teamwork: Collaborating effectively to overcome obstacles.
- Curiosity: Always seeking to learn and innovate.
He also emphasised the long-standing value of maintaining strong ethical standards in all endeavours—a message that resonated deeply with the young visitors. The conversation further touched on Greek state-sponsored programmes aimed at helping students gain professional experience through internships in the logistics and fulfillment sector, preparing them for successful careers in the industry.
Further Engagement with Vocational Training
Building on the positive feedback from the visit by the 3rd Vocational Lyceum of Chalandri, BIZ Courier & Logistics is keen to further engage with vocational training initiatives (Μαθητεία ΕΠΑΛ). While this visit highlighted the potential of apprenticeship programmes for the specific school, our commitment extends to exploring vocational training opportunities across all similar institutions. Our HR department has long been interested in forging partnerships with educational programmes to offer hands-on experience, apprenticeships, internships, and clear career pathways within the logistics industry. This broader initiative aims to nurture future talent and contribute to the ongoing development of skilled professionals in our sector.
Looking to the Future
The school's visit to our Leipzig centre was not only an opportunity to showcase BIZ’s capabilities but also a chance to inspire the next generation of logistics professionals. As we continue to advance our operations and expand our reach, initiatives like these remind us that investing in education and fostering talent are key to a resilient, future-ready industry.
Every success we have achieved stems from the unwavering support of our clients, the dedication of our team, and the trust of our partners. As we look ahead, we remain committed to delivering excellence and innovation at every step.
Let’s make 2025 a year of growth, efficiency, and sustainability, together, dedicated to our youth.
