Rita Oldenburger

Oldenburger|Fritom is a family-owned logistics company that can rightfully be called unique. Since 1999, we are part of the Fritom Group - owned by the families Veenstra, Wiersma and Doorenbos - but in 1917 our company was founded by Jan Oldenburger. The great grandfather of our colleague Rita Oldenburger.

In 1987 Rita’s father, also named Jan Oldenburger, asked her to carry out the accounting of the company. Rita never left. Nowadays she still takes care of invoicing and is available when needed. Today, she holds the position of Finance Employee.

When we asked why Rita has always stayed with our company, she said: " The transport and logistics sector is a dynamic one and is never boring. Every day is different." Rita focuses on invoicing our transportation and warehousing services and also regularly assists in our Freight Forwarding business unit.

Dynamic and challenging 
Rita: “This variety of tasks makes my job enjoyable. Invoicing definitely became more diverse throughout the years. It is much more tailored and customer demands continue to grow. Making my work way more dynamic and challenging. The challenge also lies in the independence and freedom we are given. This makes you feel truly responsible for your work. Plus, I have great, friendly colleagues. Together, we form a close-knit team that is there for each other. That is certainly not always a given.”

Culture carrier
To achieve our collective ambitions, Oldenburger|Fritom has asked Rita, among others, to fulfill the role of culture carrier. “As a culture carrier, I try to instill a sense of solidarity among all my colleagues. This ensures that we work together every day to optimize our work and serve our customers even better.”

Rita is also a member of our employee’s association and helps with the organization of our company social events.
