Today we would like to introduce you to three ladies who reinforce and complete our team at JJ.

Since May 2019, Mrs. Anna Heinz has reinforced the Larch team. Anna Heinz was born in Kazakhstan and worked after her studies as a German teacher in Russia. In 1996, she came to Germany, where she completed her apprenticeship as a management assistant for wholesale and foreign trade. In various companies, Anna Heinz gained different experience in import and export processing. We are happy to have her as support in the team Larch.

Our trainee team also gained growth in August of this year. Two new apprentices have started the two-year apprenticeship to become a management assistant for wholesale and foreign trade: Ms. Laura Kruse (20 years) and Ms. Anna Friederike Richter (19 years) both passed their A-levels in 2018 and are now dedicated to their new task.

With a total of 10 people, the JJ team made its appearance at the starting line of the Hamburger Cyclassics 2019 and tried its best under perfect weather conditions on the 60 and 100 kilometers route. The mood was already at a high level before the start and found its climax in the following gathering with delicious food and plenty of cool drinks.

With a breathtaking atmosphere and plenty of motivating cheers from the crowd, many of the JJ team riders were able to set new personal bests – others were pleased with their debut at the Cyclassics and their place in the JJ team.

Outstanding and important to mention is the support of the team by current and former business partners/friends of the company such as Marcin Kowalski, who enjoyed the 100 km track.In the course of time, several partners of “Jacob Jürgensen” have been at the starting line in the name of the company. Rainer Pusswald (2013, ø km / h 40.83 / 160 km), Fabian Wendt (2019, ø km / h 37.15 / 60 km) and Matt Pryor (2007, ø km / h 40.39 / 160 km) for instance, were even able to achieve remarkable times.

A report by our trainee Anna Richter

The MOPO-Run is an event hosted by the Hamburger Morgen Post, a local newspaper in Hamburg. At this event, multiple teams of different companies from Hamburg are running a distance of about 5 km in the heart of the Stadtpark (our green lung).

This year, the event took place at the same time as our annual JJ summer get-together. Therefore every colleague was attending to support our teams “Treibholz” (driftwood) and “Flugblatt” (flyer).

While our runners put a lot of effort into their physical participation to run their best time, the otherstried to put a lot of effort into the clearing of the barbeque buffet.
