GBA – Working together
Our European Strategy Manager, Maik Maertens recently spent some time visiting our offices in Poland (Warsaw and Wroclaw).
Maik states “I was very impressed by the strong team spirit at both locations and the new foosball table in Warsaw provided lots of mental refreshment and teamwork between departments.”
He continues with “The sense of commitment and dedication from the offices really shows as they live our company values. And here is a quote from one of our newest team members, Artur:
“Here at GBA Wroclaw, I could work happy until I retire.”

Stress Awareness Month 2023
Stress Awareness Month 2023.
It’s the start of Stress Awareness Month, this year’s theme being anxiety.
We encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunities to educate on stress and anxiety, recognising it in yourself and other people, and the impacts that it can have on your wellbeing. This month provides a great focus on this vital topic, especially within the professional world.
With ‘family’ being one of our key values here at GBA, we endeavour to make sure our workforce is well supported. We have our own experienced and trained mental health advisors positioned at each of our depots, forming the first point of contact for any of our team members who need a helping hand to improve their wellbeing.
SAFED Training – GBA’s Vision to Drive to a Sustainable Future
SAFED Training – GBA’s Vision to Drive to a Sustainable Future.
In 2021 we implemented a driver development strategy to enhance our teams’ skills and abilities to perform safe and fuel-efficient driving.
This training course is designed to motivate, educate and develop all GBA drivers and in turn help us to achieve our business goals by providing driver development, reducing GBA’s environmental impact and increasing our profitability.
Two years on, we are staying committed to our objectives on sustainability and encouraging our drivers to take SAFED courses to ensure our environmental impact continues to be as minimal as possible. Upon completion, our drivers will be qualified to teach the SAFED training courses to fellow GBA drivers ensuring our people stay informed and conscious of their impacts on the planet.
