Meet our Assistant Forwarder Iveta!

Iveta Chaloupková was born in Opocno pod Orlickymi horami and grew up in Kostelec and Orlici in the Czech Republic. In high school she studied hotel and tourism, which she completed with a degree and a First Certificate in English.

She has worked in several companies where she has been responsible for foreign customers and suppliers, making purchase orders, checking stocks and invoices, preparing documents for customs departments, etc.

‘For example, I have worked in the export order department

at ESAB Europe providing customer service for their business units worldwide. And my last job before Begoma was in the export department of the Czech company Union Cosmetics. Before that, I worked as a dispatcher at TTV Spedition, where I took care of one of their biggest customers,’ says Iveta.

‘I like the job of assistant freight forwarder where you have to be very communicative and where there is always something going on. I also have very nice colleagues and managers and appreciate that Begoma is a family business,’ she adds.

Iveta has been with us since June 2018 and her knowledge of the transport network in Europe and experience in buying international logistics solutions is a great asset for us and our customers.

She describes herself as a responsible, cheerful and sociable person. And she lives in a house in Tyniste nad Orlici, where Begoma’s Czech branch office is located, with her husband and their son and daughter, aged 8 and 6. ‘I like being outdoors and my hobbies include taking care of our garden and our dog, cycling and travelling,’ she concludes.
