Embracing the future, together: The #TeamWDP International Event 2025 in Bucharest
After the unforgettable 25-year celebration in Barcelona, #TeamWDP was ready for a new adventure ‑this time in the vibrant heart of Romania. Bucharest became the stage for our international team gathering. Over three inspiring days, colleagues from across Europe connected, shared inspiration, and experienced the city’s unique energy as we look ahead to WDP’s next chapter.
Why Bucharest?
Bucharest isn’t just a destination. It’s a symbol of WDP’s growing international footprint and the thriving logistics hub of Eastern Europe. For many colleagues, it’s a return to familiar territory; for others, an exciting first encounter with Romania’s capital. Either way, the city’s blend of rich history, bold innovation, and warm hospitality makes it the perfect backdrop for our next #TeamWDP chapter.
A year of recognition and growth
Before diving into the highlights, we’re proud to share that for the second time, WDP has been certified as a Great Place To Work® for 2025 – 2026 in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Romania! This achievement is a testament to our commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive, and empowering workplace culture — one where every team member feels valued and inspired to grow. The Bucharest event was the perfect setting to honor this milestone and reinforce what makes #TeamWDP truly special.
Day 1: Arrival & warm Romanian welcome
The adventure began as colleagues from across Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, touched down in Bucharest.
After settling in, the team gathered for a relaxed welcome dinner. The evening air was filled with laughter, the aroma of local cuisine, and the buzz of colleagues reconnecting after a busy year. New faces were introduced, stories were exchanged, and the first taste of Bucharest’s legendary hospitality set the tone for the days ahead.
Day 2: Inspiration, discovery & a night to remember
The second day began with energizing team sessions. These weren’t just business meetings — they were an opportunity to align on WDP’s vision for the future, share best practices from our six European markets, and brainstorm how to keep raising the bar for our clients. The recent Great Place To Work certification was a source of pride and a recurring theme, reminding everyone why WDP’s culture is so strong.
But the day wasn’t all about work. In the afternoon, Bucharest itself became our playground. Guided walking tours led teams through the city’s eclectic streets, from grand Belle Époque architecture to buzzing creative districts. Along the way, colleagues discovered local secrets, snapped group photos, and soaked up the city’s unique blend of tradition and modernity.
The highlight? A spirited teambuilding activity that challenged everyone’s creativity and collaboration — reminding us that our strength lies in working together, across borders and backgrounds.
As the sun set, the team donned their “Touch of Chique” attire for a festive gala dinner. The venue sparkled, the music was lively, and the dance floor quickly filled as colleagues celebrated late into the night. Toasts were raised to shared successes, new friendships, and the relentless #TeamWDP spirit.
Day 3: Logistics in action & looking ahead
The final day brought a hands-on look at what WDP does best. The team set out for exclusive visits to some of our flagship warehouse locations in and around Bucharest. These site tours weren’t just about bricks and mortar — they showcased the innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence that define WDP’s approach to logistics real estate.
After a group lunch, it was time to say goodbye — but not before reflecting on the connections made, knowledge gained, and memories created. With hearts and minds full, colleagues departed for home, inspired to carry the Bucharest experience into their daily work.
