The Fehmarn project will move around DKK 60 billion. Therefore, hopeful, potential suppliers and sub-suppliers flock around the contractor consortia like seagulls around a ploughing tractor. An influx of companies have settled in more or less temporary branches in and around Rødbyhavn in the hope of getting a piece of the pie.
FemernReport has also got an office in Rødbyhavn, and we look forward to closely following the creation of the tunnel from the office hotel in the middle of the ferry port and the construction site.
But it’s not enough just to be there. It requires preparation, (intense) legwork and lots of cold canvassing. This is shown by both Mibau Stema’s and Europcar’s examples.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.
