The 3,000 square meter area of the F.I.N.K. association in Cologne-Vogelsang is a recreation area close to the city where young and old have been gardening, working and playing together since 2016.
This time everything was different. Actually, things are always very businesslike at the Berner Group Autumn Meetings for the approximately 140 managers from all over Europe. But when a visibly touched Managing Director of Berner Poland took to the stage to report on the situation in Ukraine, the aid efforts of his team and the solidarity among the people, the room became very very quiet.
The Berner Group continues to expand its international key account business. The B2B wholesaler has now agreed on a strategic partnership with the German sales company of the Hyundai Motor Company via its subsidiary Berner Deutschland.
Rollout at record speed: In just twelve months, the Berner Group has introduced its new digital campus in over 20 European countries. In a few days, the last remaining subsidiary in Switzerland will be integrated into the online learning network. The training and development platform will then be available to 8,000 employees of all Group brands.
For the new training year, the Berner Group welcomes 26 young talents at the locations in the Hohenlohe region. The joint onboarding programme of the subsidiaries Berner Deutschland, Berner Omnichannel Trading Holding (BOT) and BTI Befestigungstechnik prepares the apprentices and dual students for their career entry at the B2B wholesaler.
