January 2007:

Rijen, 12.14.2006


Dear customer,

We would like to thank you for your amicable collaboration and trust in the past year.

The year has seen good economic recovery and volumes of goods requiring transportation rose substantially, leading to, amongst other things, a lack of lorries and drivers. As a result there was, again, increased pressure on wages and rates. In the past year, we have attempted to protect you as much as possible, from interim rate changes. From 1.1.2007, however, we cannot avoid an increase in our rates of 5%, in order to ensure the service and trustworthiness of our service-provision. The diesel clause remains unchanged.

We shall shortly send you the altered rates and, as of 1.1.2007, all old rates become null and void.

We hope that you understand our position and thank you for your understanding. We would also like to reassure you that our service will continue in the manner you are now used to.

We would like to inform you that our annual charity donation this year, which we make instead of sending Christmas cards and presents will be given to “Stichting Kika” (see www.kika.nl) and “Stichting Davor (see www.davor.nl). Each charity will receive €2500 each.

Alongside this, we are pleased to be able to give you our well-known office calendar and would like to wish you, and yours, a healthy and happy 2007!

Kind regards,

Jan Hendrickx / HTC team

December 2006:

Dear Customers,

The end of the year is, again, already here!
The well-known office calendars have been sent out to you.

Thanks to you, we were able to turn 2006 into a good year, thus guaranteeing the continuation of our services.

As you know, instead of spending money on gifts for our customers, we give an annual donation to one or more charities.
This year we have given a donation of €2500 each, to two charities; the “Stichting Davor” (www.davor.nl) and the “Stichting Kika” (www.kika.nl).

For more information about these charities, you can visit the appropriate website.
We thank you for your trust in us and wish you, and yours, a healthy and successful 2007.

Jan Hendrickx / HTC team

Further expansion in the area of storage was a logical continuation and this has, in the meantime, already been realised. (see page “former building”)

Expansion to new premises, though, was not enough and, in order to be able to improve our service to you, in the middle of March 2003, work was started on a new storage warehouse which came into use in July 2003 (see page “new building” for more information).
 

Een logisch vervolg was de verdere uitbreiding op het gebied van op- en overslag. Iets wat inmiddels gerealiseerd is. (zie de pagina oudbouw)

Uitbreiding naar een nieuw pand alleen was niet genoeg en om de service naar u te kunnen verhogen werd er medio maart 2003 begonnen met de bouw van een nieuw op- en overslagmagazijn, (zie de pagina nieuwbouw voor meer informatie over de bouw) welke in juli 2003 in gebruik werd genomen.
