Preface


2015 is almost over and it has been an incredible year… I believe that there hasn’t been a more turbulent year ever before…

First, there was a small country that kept us for months on the edge of our seats. Then there appeared on the European borders a flood of refugees (ironically a number less than the inhabitants of Greece) from the Middle East and North Africa, forcing the European Community member states to take  autonomous decisions and measures instead of with the complete European Union. And last but not least an even smaller group extremists has  shaken the world into its foundations with their attacks in Paris. Each time a smaller group that pushed the previous ‘Hot News’ aside from the front pages.

And that’s why we live now at ‘war’ with soldiers and policemen in the streets. It gives us a safe feeling, luckily we’re not yet under siege… It’s rather strange that economically there is not much to notice of this ‘war’. Except for some heated discussions on television and other media about oil, art treasures and other business, we notice only the increased security on the street. It’s weird that normally war comes along with a gigantic increase of prices for petrol and raw materials, whereas now prices are decreasing…even strongly!  Perhaps this is not a normal war ? History learns that it won’t repeat itself this time ?

Meanwhile autumn is over and the winter season has started. Due to the mild temperatures the turn-over of our VW parts is huge. After all it depends what kind of winter we’ll get in Western Europe.  A soft or a severe winter ? A lot of snow ? Or no snow at all ? You can’t predict it.

What we do can predict, that are we at BBT. The challenge of 2016 is coming. The complete BBT team is ready to inforce the door and to work ‘hard’ next year. Automation of our warehouse will be continued, the forwarding will be thoroughly taken on, some great developments on IT matters are on the way and our stock range will be figured out furthermore. There are a lot of items scheduled on the agenda and we consider this preface as our new year’s letter for our customers. A letter plenty of good wishes and the very best intentions, because BBT knows as no one else, that well begun is half done! Our customers deserve it more than ever before.

I wish you personally and  also on behalf of the BBT employees a splendid New Year, plenty of marvelous moments with friends and family and a fantastic 2016…. Lots of prosperity, luck and health! And let’s hope that violence will not escalate in our beautiful world.

A splashing 2016!
