”Precisely because we are a non-profit member organisation there is no pressure from the top for us to sell a lot. It is also not a goal for us to simply finish current cases and move on as fast as possible. We have other objectives which allow us the space and time to immerse ourselves. And we are happy to use the extra minute and walk or run that extra mile it might take, precisely because we are a service function. So when we say that we only exist for our members, it is much more than just a figure of speech. It is the very DNA in our business model and price structure that the accumulated effect we achieve by doing tasks on behalf of some members will benefit all members of TPE. As a non-profit member organisation all benefits go directly back to the member companies, and that way of thinking permeates our daily work tasks in a very positive way”.

”As manager I am part of the day-to-day operations - also because I have consistently wanted to be a part of the action, where the work is done and tasks are completed. Before TPE I was employed for a number of years at a large travel agency and was starting to get tired of it. Working at a big place like that means there is a tendency towards hierarchies and a number of layers that suggestions and ideas have to be filtered through before it may lead to decisions that may lead to change. At TPE ideas can be quickly realised and carried out. We are a smaller company with a large degree of flexibility in our daily routines. And even today, 16 years after first starting here, TPE is still a workplace that listens and is open to dialogue and innovative thinking”.
