Maersk hosts second Up Close and Personal Event

The large distribution centre on River Road in the Tilbury industrial park area, owned by Maersk, was the second in the Delta Chamber’s brand new series of events, Up Close and Personal. The Maersk facility, known previously as HUDD, is the distribution centre for major retailers such as IKEA and Walmart.

Maersk Line, which hosted the event, is one of the leading shipping companies in the world. With a fleet of more than 500 container vessels and more than 1.9 million of their own shipping containers in operation, Maersk services its customers worldwide. >>link to Maersk website>>

The purpose of the new Up Close and Personal business-to-business networking series is to allow participants to experience Delta-based businesses firsthand when those businesses host events at their own facilities and provide worksite tours and hospitality.

The event earned a 90% customer satisfaction rating overall. Comments included “Met new people,” + “Well organized and interesting” + “Very interesting tour.” Kathie Madden, of Kathie Madden Events, organized this event on behalf of the Chamber.
