Meet the Branch Manager
October 2, 2025
Maurice Ward & Co. B.V. is pleased to announce the appointment of Martin Klijn as the new Branch Manager.
Martin brings massive experience and dedication to his new role. After more than six years working in various positions at different airlines, including operations, customer service and sales, he joined Maurice Ward in 2016 as an Operations and Sales Agent. His strong performance quickly led to a promotion to Team Leader Airfreight in 2018, a role he held for 2.5 years before becoming Operations Manager in 2021. Over the past 4.5 years, Martin has successfully led several projects and overseen daily operations, achievements that have now paved the way for his promotion to Branch Manager.
“My main focus is to ensure a solid foundation for our operations and to consistently deliver an excellent service to our customers and partners. This to improve our results and growth. This year, MW NL entered the IATA Top 100 at position 100 for freight forwarders at AMS and the goal is to continue climbing that list.” – says Martin Klijn

The first ever ‘cargo only’ flight was recorded in November 1910 in the USA, using a Wright Model B aeroplane that flew 65 miles carrying a package of silk. The business owner used the pioneering transport more as a PR stunt to celebrate the opening of his store, with the bundle of silk cut into individual pieces and glued onto souvenir postcards.
