Do you see a WBE truck with a smiling face behind the wheel? Then you will most likely see driver Arjan Brandt. He ensures that the products are transported between the different branches of the WBE group.

And not only the truck is in good hands with Arjan, in fact everything that has wheels. In the interview, Arjan tells all about his work at WBE, his love for vehicles and his hobbies, which also happen to include wheels. Read the entire interview on our website.
