CTL Strategy Meeting 2022
With a successful two-day strategy meeting on 22 and 23 September, we conclude the CTL AG event series for 2022. We would like to sincerely thank the 80 participants from over 50 partner forwarders for a inspiring get-together and are pleased with the consistently positive feedback from the participants on the organisation and location. The CTL Strategy Meeting was held in the Marburg Congress Centre, which already convinced last year with its spacious premises and professional equipment.

The first day of the event was dedicated to our guiding principles for the coming months and years. The components stability, quality and functionality ran through all sub-areas, which the CTL management addressed in detail. Current and upcoming projects were presented and it was shown how these will contribute to being able to serve the aforementioned guiding principles and goals even better in the future. A complete coverage, robust and reliable operational processing at all CTL locations or the simplification and constant optimisation of existing processes are some of the key issues to be mentioned. The emphasised focus of our orientation remains the added value for the CTL network partners.
Networking was also a priority this year. We deliberately included a lot of space for personal discussions in our framework programme and are pleased that this was well received. We were able to take away numerous new impulses for us as a multifaceted cooperation.
A big highlight was the evening BBQ at the beautiful “Hofgut” in Dagobertshausen. There we were able to continue the valuable, lively exchange and enjoy a great live musical performance by the band WiMaMo (short for “We make moments”).
