Airfreight

Urgent shipments by air

For some, freight shipment by sea is an excellent solution for their transporting needs whereas others are in need of air freight solutions. Both options are offered by Cleve as your partner in logistics. Shipping freight by sea suffices for certain customers when their shipment is not required urgently whereas others need their cargo to be delivered at its destination with a minimum of delay.

In 1975, when I started working at Cleve, we were a small shipping agent with little perspective. We had to compete with the big freight agents, after all. That's why we decided to focus on container groupage services. With great success, since we are now market leader in The Netherlands. Unlike our competitors, we choose our agents ourselves, so we only work with the best partners that offer services that our customers need.

Gerard van Pelt

Director of Cleve & Zonen

I started working for the company when the children started going to school. I started off as an allrounder on various departments. I ended up in payroll administration and, to this day, love doing that. As a company, you have to keep up with time: I have seen processes change over the years. Everything is faster and more efficient nowadays. I have now passed retirement age so I can decide which hours and days I work myself, but I can't stand the thought of quitting work yet.

Thea van Pelt

Salary administrator

Cleve is a true family business. I love being amongst people, but that's not the only reason I still like my work at Cleve at 85 years old. Cleve is a warm family business: I know everyone and I can decide for myself when and how much I work. My work is still my hobby.

Cornelis van der Woude

Employee field staff at Cleve & Zonen

Our sector is constantly changing. The best thing about my work is the variety: I interact with people from all over the world, deal with damage claims and am a member of the management team. The transport sector never stays the same, so my work and I continuesly grow along with these developments. That's why I have love working for Cleve for more than 30 years already now.

Willie van Straaten

Executive secretary at Cleve & Zonen

When I started working at Cleve in 1976, everything was much smaller: there were three of us and we started out in a 'drive-in' home in Pendrecht. This is when the groupage era began. Since then I have witnessed Cleve grow into the international transporter it is today. Still, the family atmosphere from the early days always remained present.

Manager export expedition

In 1982 I joined Cleve. The accountant at the time taught me the tricks of the trade. It was just the two of us then, so that's a little different now. Today, there are 12 financial specialists and the entire administration has been automated. In short, both the company and the expertise have developed widely and I was given the opportunity to grow along with it. It's been very nice to experience that.

Jan Muizer

Financial manager at Cleve & Zonen

A look behind the scenes: for the past 37 years at Cleve & Zonen, apart from an abundance of knowledge and experience in logistics, I have gained a glimpse into other cultures and therefore gained a lot from a personal development perspective too. I eagerly look forward to the years ahead.

Mike Draër

Development manager at Cleve & Zonen

We grew up alongside Cleve. Our father often took us to the office where we did small chores to earn some money. We picked up the phone, put stamps on the departure lists and riped off telex messages. In this respect, our family business hasn't changed much: nowadays we ourselves take our sons and daughters to work with us sometimes. Both our husbands are working within the company as well.

We are happy to help you!
