Andamur La Junquera-Llers is celebrating its first anniversary with an event for truck drivers who visit the station
At Andamur we are celebrating the fact that it’s been one year since we made our dream come true by opening the largest Service Area for trucks in Europe, Andamur La Junquera-Llers.
Wednesday, November 9th, is the day on which the first truck refuelled at La Junquera-Llers and at Andamur we wanted to celebrate it with all our customers, since they are the ones who have made it possible. For a whole day, all truckers have been able to enjoy free drinks and pastries or mini-sandwiches at a Food Truck decorated for the occasion. In addition, they have received a personalised keychain from Andamur La Junquera-Llers to commemorate this day.
About Andamur La Junquera – Llers
Located in an especially convenient place for professional transport, 20 kilometres from the French border, just 12 kilometres from La Junquera and 200 metres from exit 3 of the AP7 motorway; Andamur La Junquera-Llers has been created to reduce waiting and refuelling times to the greatest extent possible, ensuring that a truck can refuel in just 8 minutes. All this thanks to its location, its magnitude and the fact that each lane has a system with 6 simultaneous hoses that allow several products to be refuelled at the same time.
At Andamur we are aware of “The Value of Your Time”, the value of the time of each of our customers; of the transport companies and of the hundreds of drivers who drive thousands of kilometres, and that is why we do everything we can to help them optimise their time.
Through Bread Month activities in its cafeterias, revenue from the sale of bread in our Service Areas and voluntary work in the soup kitchen
We at Andamur have a commitment to society and we are doing our bit to help create a better world for everyone.
This is why, for the fifth year running, Andamur is collaborating with the Fundación Jesús Abandonado during Bread Month.
This partnership consists of paying for all the bread that is consumed in the foundation’s cafeterias for a whole month. We are footing the bill for the bread consumed during the month of April, which coincides with the anniversary of Andamur El Límite opening on 14th April.
What’s more, since last year we have already taken it a step further and all proceeds from our bread sales in our Service Areas for one month have also been donated to the Fundación Jesús Abandonado. This year, it was during the month of September, so we presented their Chairman, Mr José Manuel Martínez Tomás, with the sales proceeds. With this small gesture, we want to increase our commitment to society and to the foundation.
We have also been able to resume our voluntary work in its soup kitchen following the pandemic. Some of our team members have worked out of one of the soup kitchens at the Fundación Jesús Abandonado to experience this important social initiative that is being carried out first-hand, helping them to understand the reality of people who need the foundation’s help.
With these types of actions, Andamur is demonstrating its commitment to organisations such as the Fundación Jesús Abandonado that contribute to social causes and stand up for social welfare.
This action forms part of our CSR Plan where #WeCareForWhatMatters, within the context of Social Commitment, and where we show our commitment to the social groups and areas that most need our support.
Accessing healthy meal options is not always easy for hauliers. Andamur are aware of this, so as part of our #WatchYourDietOnTheRoad campaign, we are launching the initiative “Recipes on the Road“.
This is a cookbook with recipe ideas from various different countries provided by hauliers of different nationalities, sharing the type of food that they miss while on the road, the most practical recipes that they can cook at their stops, and the cooking utensils that they have in their cabs.
The renowned chef Cándido Morales, finalist of the Le Cordon Bleu Haute Cuisine Award and collaborator at Celler de Can Roca (3 Michelin stars), El Bohío (1 Michelin star), and at Andreu Genestra’s restaurant (1 Michelin star), has compiled all these contributions into this recipe book that offers a series of healthy and balanced recipes that can be easily prepared on the roads.
In our website www.andamur.com/watchyourdietontheroad you can find each of the recipes in a downloadable video file format. Each of these videos features our chef, Cándido Morales, and several special guests, beginning with Rafael Martínez, a haulier by profession, and a lover of cooking, as is clear from his Instagram account @cocinaconrafael.
This initiative forms part of our CSR plan #WeCareForWhatMatters, within the axis ‘Care for the driver and transport company’, through which we are committed to improving the daily life of hauliers and companies in the sector.
