Ideal destination for your vacation?
I would really like to visit Tokyo and New York; these are the travels I most want to do. On the other hand, if I had to choose somewhere more tropical, I would choose Cape Verde

Jonatan Garcia
Maintenance Department – Mechanical Technician
Albert Miravet Casas
Accounts Receivables Manager
– What do you like the most about working at BEST?
BEST for me, has been a “challenge” both at a personal and professional level. I was offered the possibility of being part of this team many years ago (21 to be exact), and I did not hesitate for a second. When I was assigned to the Customer department, I was reluctant, but as they say… “he who goes for it… achieves it”. For many, this won’t make sense, but what I like the most is the number “3”. A challenge that seemed impossible, an unattainable achievement, but with perseverance, and constant hard work, anything can be achieved. The relationship with clients is something that I would not change for any other department, and above all, the relationship with my colleagues.

– Your happiest day at BEST?
The day that I had the opportunity to enter in the terminal and see more closely its operation. I thought it was a huge site and very well coordinated. The best time was when I got on the crane. It was something different and it gets completely out of my daily routine.

Jose Manuel Díaz
Engineering Supervisor
– Describe your role at BEST. Do you have any anecdote?
A day in the Maintenance Dept. tends to be quite busy. We deal with all the daily incidents, we work with suppliers and external companies to manage everything necessary regarding the maintenance of equipment and facilities and furthermore we have to manage all preventive maintenance in order to have the equipment as “fit” as possible.
There are many anecdotes, for example, one day a stevedore called us because his Reach Stacker would not start and when we went there, it was missing its’ two front wheels!

– Your happiest day at BEST?
The day I saw the first cranes arriving on those ships coming from so far away, it’s something you rarely can see, the images speak for themselves.It was great, thinking that their destiny was this terminal, and thus, we could take a big step in the evolution of BEST, both in terms of productivity and technology, as seeing our large fleet of giant automatic container stacking system.
Marta Gómez

Film “The Pursuit of Happyness” based on a true story about struggles in life when facing adversity. Favorite book “Hombres buenos” by Pérez Reverte it’s about some academics, at the beginning of the French Enlightenment period, who whilst in search of wisdom face and confront challenges.

– Describe your role at BEST. Do you have any anecdote?
Intense. After 15 years I have had a lot of anecdotes, one of the most curious was when I saw a 20 tones container floating in the water and it wouldn’t sink. Another one could be Martos’s retirement party, and how he pretended to know nothing.
