Meet your mentor

Nikolaj is responsible for our application landscape and support function, which ensures that our employees at our Danish locations can perform their work smoothly

"I love working with people and seeing them develop, but I also learn a lot from meeting so many different people. That's why I find it really exciting to work with students and teach them about 'best in class' service, so they are well equipped for their future careers."

Morten started as a forwarding apprentice at GLS in 2003. Today he works in Global Solution, where he connects people across national borders.

“When I see that the community is thriving, it all makes sense to me.

We try to give students as realistic an everyday life as possible. They become part of our shift plan with their own areas of responsibility and are included as a regular full-time employee with help from colleagues.”

Heidi started her career at GLS as an Internal Salesperson in 2010. Since 2016, she has been responsible for Sales Backup and Aftersales.

"Our students have given us some aha experiences over the years. Being a mentor is challenging and fun. I love the diversity of our student body.

For more than two decades, Mette has helped small and large customers in our Customer Service.

"It's great to be a mentor because it's exciting to hear what the young people have to offer. I love helping to send them on their way and teaching them what world-class customer service is.

The tasks for our students are largely the same as the rest of us. They will tinker with the whole thing and have their fingers fully immersed in the tasks. A lot happens and they are not spared - they do so well!”

Susanne was one of the founders of the export department at GLS. Back then they were 2 employees - today she has over 40 colleagues in the department.

"Together, we have so many skills that we are looking forward to passing on. Our students get an exciting and versatile everyday life - and all the responsibility they want. Of course, we are always ready to provide support so that the students are well prepared for a future career."

Gitte has been with GLS since the company was founded, and now she is responsible for our accounts debit department.

"I love to see the young people grow and get a lot of eye opening experiences. I'm proud to be part of giving our students the first and best push in their long working life, and I enjoy the good interaction between student and mentor."

Jeppe is a manager in our internal sales department where we follow up on leads and customise the best freight solutions for our small and medium-sized customers.

"Our trainees are given responsibility and challenges on an equal footing with their colleagues. I am proud to help ensure that their first step in their career is both educational and characterised by a strong sense of community, so that by the end of their training they have developed both professionally and personally."

In 2022, Rikke became part of GLS. She sits in our HR department, where she helps to recruit our students, make sure they get on board well and get a good sense of unity through GLS's student network.

“I love being a mentor! I get to help some young people who are starting their first real job. They not only have to find out how to carry out their work tasks, but also to behave in a workplace and learn to believe in themselves. And that is what I am passionate about.”

In 2009, Hans Henrik replaced the driver's seat with an office chair in GLS Express, where he works as a forwarder in a fast-paced everyday life.

“I love working with young people. It is very special when you can see that they use what you have taught them, and even develop it into new knowledge.”
