Growing together: Dexport wins Partner of the Year.

# Partner of the Year — Dexport — #trstd connect Amsterdam

Roy Maljaars: And that brings us to the final part.

You can already see quite a few people arriving at the back. They're all colleagues from Trusted Shops whom some of you may already have spoken to at some point.

There'll be a great lunch ready for everyone in a moment. The afternoon programme officially starts at 12:45. Some business guests may start arriving around one o'clock, so just so you know. We'll try to keep the room reasonably closed off so you can enjoy your lunch.

Before we get to that, first of all, thank you to everyone for coming.

I hope you've all had a good morning and that you're looking forward to the afternoon as well.

On behalf of myself, on behalf of Ella, and on behalf of the company, thank you very much for coming here.

As I said earlier, we're planning to make this an annual event, perhaps with more awards in future. For now, we're keeping it to one award.

And this is the first time we're presenting it.

It's the Partner of the Year award.

The #trstd connect logo is on it because, over the coming years, we'll be working more and more with our #trstd solution.

So who is the Partner of the Year?

We based that on several things.

First, we looked at the number of customers we serve together.

We also looked at the number of webshops we onboarded together over the past year, and at the shared revenue that came with that.

Those are roughly the elements we used to make the selection.

So when I say the name in a moment, I'd like a round of applause and I'd like the people from that company to come forward.

I'd like to present the Partner of the Year award to Dexport.

Thomas, please come up as well.

Andreas, thank you. I'll give you a moment to say a few words.

And Thomas is coming up as well for Dexport.

Congratulations.

Is there anything you'd like to say briefly now that you've won the award?

Andreas (Dexport): Well, the cliché answer would be that I didn't expect it, but it's really great.

And I think it's also a thank-you for the partnership we've built together and for the conversations we've had regularly about how we can create more value.

For our customers in Germany, it's not just about creating more trust with Trusted Shops for the German consumer.

It's also about making sure, for example, that everything is legally in order so that our customers don't suddenly face a claim in Germany.

Those are important things.

And Thomas has also done a really good job together with the sales team.

From the leads that come to us from companies interested in the German market, some then move on to Trusted Shops.

I think it's a win-win for everyone.

Thank you very much.

Roy Maljaars: Thank you, gentlemen.

You can head back to your seats.

And with that, I'd like to close by thanking everyone once again.

Enjoy the lunch.

For those of you staying for the afternoon, the programme starts at around 12:45, and you'll receive more information then about what to expect.

Thank you very much.
