3 Questions to Sabrina Baade | FMS Nuremberg

1. What is your job at FMS Nuremberg?

I'm working at the airfreight department for FMS Nuremberg. My challenge is to establish the airfreight in Nuremberg, so that an operational clearance can be ensured. The handling of the shipments also belongs to my responsibilities. It's important for me that our clients receive the best service. It's not relevant to analyze the Problems and keep on looking back but rather to look Forward and find solutions.

2. How was your professional development at FMS?

I'm with Fr. Meyer's Sohn since 01st of June 2016. You could think, a person who is working for a company for two months cannot talk about development. That's wrong. It was a great challenge for me to establish and organize the import airfreight department since I've handled more export business in my previous forwarder life. It was a lot of fun and joy to learn all the relevant information relating to the import customs clearance which currently is my daily business. In this spirit I would like to say thank you to my colleagues, who gave me all the advice and practical support and still do.

3. What makes FMS a great employer for you?

Fr. Meyer's Sohn inspires me by the family policy and the associated flat hierarchies, which every employee can see. In addition, the serenity to assign responsibility to other employees and to trust that they will master your tasks, have an positive impact on our work. Beyond, Fr. Meyer's Sohn enables employees a perfect coordination of private - and working life.
