Meet our Intern Quincy 


During my internship within the Marketing & Communication team I learned a lot. I not only became more enthusiastic about Marketing, but also about Mainfreight and its 100-year vision. From day one I became part of the Mainfreight family and was seen as a real team member. Time flies, but in this case that is not a bad thing: after my studies I would like to come back for the Traineeship. I am sure that at Mainfreight I can grow into who I want to be!

Say Hello to Nina 


During my internship I was able to develop both personally and in terms of my marketing and communication abilities. My confidence grew because trial and error is how we learn! I genuinely feel a part of the Mainfreight team and family. What a wonderful feeling it is to truly look forward to going to work each day! The marketing and communication team provided me with helpful direction, which allowed me to learn. I was given the opportunity to take responsibility, be independent and assist wherever needed. An internship at Mainfreight is the ideal way to get a taste what a career in marketing and communication might look like.
