After the official ceremony, there was an opportunity to converse in a relaxed atmosphere. The evening ended with a lively exchange of memories and stories, where long-time colleagues reminisced about shared experiences and described the company’s development from their personal perspectives. 

One of the honored jubilees was Hauke Kühnel, a professional driver at the Nagel-Group, who is now retiring after 45 years of service. He recalled his tours through the Ruhr area and shared one of his personal highlights: “Over the years, I have met so many great people at work, including colleagues and customers, with whom I have maintained a great relationship.” Additionally, there was speculation in a convivial round about how many kilometers he had driven with the truck in his career – exact numbers could not be determined, but one thing is certain: he has circled the earth several times.
