Lenaers Express started out with just one delivery van. Today, it crosses all of Europe with a fleet of trucks, tractor trailers and even crane trucks. They are and remain extremely ambitious and count on the support of Hasco Invest to take the next steps. Business manager Jan Lenaers provides text and explanation about the collaboration.
“I started looking for a strong partner so we could keep growing. One that could stand their ground in the competitive business world,” said Jan. He soon found that partner in Hasco Invest. They had the necessary financial clout and provided the perfect operational support with Multi Logistics Group. This is a Hasco Invest holding with expertise in the transport sector. “Every month, I go over my strategy with Multi Logistics Group backed by our numbers and discuss the decisions we took. I’m responsible for the day-to-day policy and operations, but can always count on their good advice and guidance. In other words, I’m still in the driver’s seat, but I have an experienced co-pilot next to me.”
Business manager Jan Lenaers is particularly pleased with the cooperation. “In addition to good advice and financial backing, we also the receive the necessary administrative support. For example, Multi Logistics Group takes care of both our IT and accounting departments,” said Jan. Which means Lenaers Express can rely on very detailed control and reporting of our figures. I only used to see a financial picture of our business every six months, but I now get this every month, which is invaluable. It means that we can invest and adapt much more proactively and in a much more targeted way,” said the business manager.
At Lenaers Express, they always look to the future. “Standing still means you’re going backwards, so we’re not putting any brakes on our growth ambitions just yet. We want to keep growing to become more than just a carrier, and are aiming to expand our logistics department even further over the next few years,” said Jan. This is where Lenaers Express can count on the full support of Multi Logistics Group. The collaboration provides a solid foundation to continue worry-free growth, allowing us to learn from the previous experiences of other businesses within the holding. One thing is certain… the future of Lenaers Express looks promising!
