Diversity and nurturing talent is high on the agenda for BCS Group – Boers Crew Services as it welcomes three new Filipino crew operators to its German office.
Ina Patricia Lontok, Maverick Arenas and Erickson Inosanto have relocated from The Philippines to work for Boers Germany in Hamburg – a move which reflects the growth and diversity of the company.
Trainee crew operators Ms Lontok and Mr Arenas have joined the company’s first apprenticeship programmes and are also enrolled in a job training school in Hamburg. Their apprenticeships focus on various aspects of office management, allowing them to further develop their knowledge and skills.
The structured programme is designed to equip them with the necessary competencies to excel in their roles and contribute effectively to the business.
Additionally, Mr Inosanto brings a wealth of experience to the team. He has enjoyed an extensive career in crew operations and management onboard various cruise vessels. His experience enhances the team’s ability at Boers Germany to handle complex operational challenges and provides valuable insights into crew management best practices.
The relocation of the trio to Hamburg marks a pivotal step in enhancing the company’s operational capabilities and the growth of expertise in crew operations.
Fabian Finnern, Managing Director at Boers Germany, said: “We are delighted at how well the relocation process has been for Erickson, Ina and Maverick. Erickson has brought with him years of crew management experience and has enhanced our team here with his set of skills and professionalism.
“Providing excellent training programmes is hugely important for us at Boers as we believe in nurturing young talent and offering them opportunities to progress with us as they start their maritime careers. Having three Filipino members of staff here in Germany is a real asset to our team here and our operations. With a more robust and diverse team, we are now better equipped to manage the diverse workload of our office. This strategic enhancement of our workforce reaffirms our commitment to delivering excellence in crew operations and management.”
