Are you a real organiser who gets energy from keeping track of things and solving puzzles? Do you think it’s important that everything runs smoothly and everyone is satisfied at the end of the day? Then this is your chance to start your career at Van Duuren!
About us
Van Duuren is a family business with a fresh perspective on logistics. For generations, we have been transporting goods from A to B, but in our own innovative way.
