Thijs Boel, Managing Director Europe at Spring GDS, has attended DELIVER for several years — but 2025 felt different. Reflecting on the opening keynote and the atmosphere across the show floor, Boel noted a deeper sense of meaning and connection.

“The highlight actually started with the emotional intro speech from Stéphane,” he said. “It really set the scene for how special this edition is. You feel there’s something more this year — more engagement, a richer programme, something on top.”

CROSS-BORDER, CUSTOMER-CENTRIC

Spring GDS is known for its flexible, reliable, and customer-centric cross-border delivery services — and DELIVER continues to provide the ideal platform to express that value.

“That’s what Spring is about,” Boel explained. “And for us, connecting with the right people and having the right type of conversations right away — that’s what it’s all about.”

‘CONNECTING WITHOUT BORDERS’

Spring GDS carries a clear mission statement: connecting without borders. It’s more than just a slogan — it’s embedded in their culture. And for Boel, DELIVER Europe continues to be one of the rare places where that connection feels truly seamless.

“It’s in our DNA,” he said. “And the way DELIVER is set up — the structure, the matchmaking — it gives that true connection quickly, easily, and smoothly.”

That’s why Spring keeps coming back, year after year.

“It just works for us,” Boel concluded. “We always leave with value.”

As Spring GDS continues to bridge logistics gaps across Europe and beyond, events like DELIVER help ensure the people behind the packages stay connected too.
