“This new and fantastic assignment is a great recognition for our Fuel Distribution Department. For the past eighteen months, we have participated in BP's work with two of our fuel combinations. Our specialism in the transport of chemical products and our extensive experience in fuel distribution have had a positive influence on the cooperation with BP Nederland. The recognition through this assignment is a great compliment to our people in the planning, the safety assistants and our business cards, the drivers' says a proud Bertil Bouwhuis, managing director Chemical Logistics of Nijhof-Wassink.

'By not only outsourcing the transport, but also the planning, the journeys to and from the BP filling stations are planned even more efficiently. This further reduces CO2 emissions. Our strong focus on safety and sustainability is perfectly in line with BP's ambitions to supply energy in a safe, respectful and sustainable way, 'says Bertil Bouwhuis.
