Schenker (Thai) schifts
Schaefer and schows off Dounghatahai
 Ms
Dounghathai (L) and Jo Adamek from BMW (R)
The very active Schenker (Thai) group, under GM John
Quarmby, welcomed visitors and guests to a "Hello and Goodbye"
party at the Amari Orchid Resort last week. The branch manager, Olaf
Schaefer was making his farewells before heading off to China and
introducing the new Manager(ess) of the Laem Chabang branch, the sparkling
Ms Dounghathai Boonyapraputi.
To show her dedication to duty, Ms Dounghathai was late
for her own party as there was a minor problem on the dock which she wanted
to clear up before she closed the office. Schenker (Thai) have certainly
chosen a bright eyed manager for the local branch.
