Rolf Slickers (Servitex – Germany) – Special Award RTC: “The entire GBPA event, it´s preparation, organization and the experienced level of service afterwards, were really outstanding and remarkable, you can be very proud of your team and family! The press coverage of our Special Award started good, making it on the first side of the leading German online magazine “Cost & Logis” and more coverage in laundry magazines will follow. I had not entered the international laundry stage before and have made interesting contacts, some of them will last. So your goal – connect leaders and combining forces in the international laundry industry, had been achieved at once in my case!”
