Concetta Torello, who is usually hesitant to tell herself anything during the week of the International Day of the Family, makes an exception for one of her most important topics: the family.
Added to that, a personal conversation, except that the firm has practically everything. She is our Chief Financial Officer, with a calm demeanor and a strong desire to succeed. Concetta is open about her feelings for her property, her business, and her family. What are these riches if they can’t be comprehended? Concetta is in charge of so much of the humanity that pours through from her company, as she put it herself: “the real wealth is being human with human beings.”
Torello’s relationship with him. When he was born and how he changed throughout time.
Clearly, this is a familial trait. I’ve always done this work, which has turned out to be an interpretation of our personal tendencies. Umberto is the commercial and organizational brains behind the company. Antonio, a man of relationships with a practicality that has always differentiated him, has gravitated more toward the engines, while I, more reticent, discover what best reflects me in my role: correctness, programming, and order. In conclusion, I enjoy being a bit of a “director,” but the true soul of this organization is our father, who continues to communicate essential teachings every day by his gestures and words, one on everyone being unified at a family and professional level, and caring for all members of our “Great Family” (as we love to call it).
I don’t hide anything. I’m too attached to my family, and I believe that family businesses are a valuable asset to any country and should be encouraged in every way possible, not only in Italy (where family businesses have historically served as the backbone of national economic progress), but also in other nations.
Ours is a “land-based” family enterprise with a passion for engines.
I adore everything about this job; I was almost born in the center of engines, from agricultural tractors to the ultra-modern trucks that now ply Europe’s highways.
Torello has three adverbs.
Proud. There’s a lot of me, my brothers, and my father in this adjective. The greatest metaphor for a healthy journey is starting from ourselves and making it on our own, meter by meter, kilometer by kilometer. Nothing has ever been given to us. And I’m not saying it out of rage or disappointment; I’m saying it out of remorse!
Humani. I read a few of the interviews, and I enjoy how everyone feels they have an opportunity to express themselves. It means they feel a part of this wonderful family, and we’ve figured out that, just like in a family, everyone communicates their personal and professional visions through the lens of his sensitivity.
Hard-working. Thinking that this enterprise arose from the ground, correctly from the soil and a passion for engines, taught me that getting your hands dirty in the first person gives you a sensation of exhaustion, of only earning esteem and respect by hard effort.
The position he occupied. Personal vision and accountability.
I am the Group’s Chief Financial Officer, and my fanco has an incomparable team. With marketing, I follow the facts, and then I deal primarily with numbers, but I’m not stuck in the button room to make ends meet. Human beings “matter” to me, and I believe that when employees are led by entrepreneurs who put their brain and heart into their job, the end result is dramatically different, and from the outside, our clients/partners, with whom we share work and values, notice this. One of the simple guidelines we follow every day is to value people, to create collaborative environments in which we all (including the owners) are at the service of the firm, and to lead by example, to be the lighthouse for everybody.
Torello has a lot of pink stock. Does your role contribute significantly in this?
Women in the transportation industry. Although there are no entirely male and female occupations, the number of women in the transportation industry is still quite low, particularly at the managerial level. In a nutshell, talent is being squandered! Thankfully, Torello’s travels take him outside of these
systems, and the odds pink from us are well represented. We feel that having a mixed atmosphere with gender equality inside the organization benefits both internal and external interactions.
The International Day of Families occurs this week. A recurrence that’s just right…
We don’t want to delve into the idea of family that everyone of us have. The only form of family we’re talking about is one that is based on love. Love is the bedrock upon which all good things are built. It will be natural to be dear to colleagues and owners if you structure the company on the same values that you use in your family, which is the social area that welcomes and collects everything we hold most dear. To everyone.
We want Torello employees to believe that their work is a vehicle for expressing their ideals. “Lousy family, bad business,” says an old saying. Well, we strive to be a good family on a daily basis…
How do you see the future of transportation based on your experience?
It’s becoming more and more central, and it’s becoming unavoidable. Now that it is in the public view, it is vital to give this work dignity. Mattarella’s speech to the House on the occasion of his re election as President of the Republic was all about dignity. Well, it would have to give/give dignity to the work of the hauler because it will become increasingly difficult to find a solution to the shortage of drivers and, most all, the unwillingness of many to join this sector if it does not.
It would be required for us all to comprehend the actual worth of this craft.
If we locate a product on a shelf in a store, it has traveled on a medium at least in part, if not all.
The simplicity with which we buy from internet stores (which has become even more common as a result of the pandemic) is all managed by efficient logistics consisting of sheds, trucks, and men.
Would you still take this position?
We made our decision, and I found him virtually in the home! Of course, like with any work, there are some aspects that I dislike, but because the family’s responsibilities have been divided, I am able to perform the majority of what I enjoy. With an ear on the ground for all company news.
