IMPRINT CONTACT COMPACT When it comes to competence When it comes to competence WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME MR. WADEER FROM AFGHANISTAN We were not the only people touched by one of the key topics of this year, the unexpected volume of refugees and we asked ourselves what could we do, not just privately, but as a company, to provide support and assistance. So when we were asked in August whether we would be able to take on Mr. Wadeer, a young Afghan refugee, as an intern, our answer was an immediate and resounding Yes! Even during the course of the internship we could tell that Mr. Wadeer could see a professional future at BIW and we could see an employee with potential for development. But we had not realised that the bureaucratic obstacles in our path would be quite so complex. After personal involvement from our Managing director Ralf Stoffels and Melanie Beinert, the departmental head for languages at VHS Ennepe-Ruhr Süd, we are pleased to now welcome Mr. Wadeer as a member of our team since November. We wish him a good start in his new professional life and are pleased he will be starting his training as process technician for plastic and rubber technology with us as of August 2016. SAYING GOODBYE TO MR. KRISHNAMOORTY BIW says goodbye to colleague Krishna Krishnamoorty, who takes his well-earned pension at the age of 65 after 25 years with the company. We would like to take this op- portunity to thank him for his dedication and to wish him the best of luck and health in his new life.
