10 years of expertise, reliability and good humour – We’re celebrating Uwe Lehnhardt

Today we’d like to honour Uwe Lehnhardt on his special anniversary. Officially, it’s been 10 years since he returned to our assembly department on 1 March 2016. But anyone familiar with his story knows that his connection to the Arnold Group goes back much further.

Uwe began his career with us back in August 1989 with an apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer and was part of our team until July 1993. After spells in the German Armed Forces and in the dispatch department, he returned to the Arnold Group in 2008. Even a brief hiatus during operational challenges could not sever his connection to us. In 2016, he was personally brought back by our boss and has been an indispensable pillar of our assembly team ever since!

Uwe Lenhardt

With his reliable, positive nature and his expertise, coupled with a friendly word on his lips, Uwe is more than just a top performer in the assembly team. He enriches our team every day with his loyalty, commitment and tireless dedication, making him a role model for all his colleagues!

Here’s to you, Uwe – we look forward to many more years of dedication, experience and good humour!

For a decade now, Klaus has been an integral and indispensable part of the Arnold Group. Day in, day out, he ensures that everything runs smoothly in the warehouse with great dedication, the utmost care and impressive reliability – often working behind the scenes, but making a huge difference to the whole team!

He always keeps a close eye on things and pitches in when it matters. Whether it’s goods receipt, order picking or dispatch – you can always rely on Klaus.

But Klaus is not only a great asset professionally: on a personal level, too, he is a valued colleague whom you can always count on. His team spirit, his willingness to help and his calm, down-to-earth manner make working with him particularly pleasant and valuable.
