Accord FETA Freight Named Best Network Office for Overall Performance by Independent Global Freight
Accord FETA Freight Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Singapore-based global integrated logistics service provider Accord Express Holdings Pte Ltd, was named the Best Network Office for Overall Performance in 2003 at the 23rd FETA Freight Systems International (FFSI) Worldwide Conference held in late March at Cape Town, South Africa. It beat 47 freight forwarding companies from 44 countries worldwide to clinch this award.
Accord FETA Freight’s total top score for its outstanding performance in Accounts Settlement, Services and Sales helped it to secure the pole position. Mr Lawrence Low, managing director of Accord FETA Freight was ecstatic about the win. “This award is recognition of the hard work and effort we put in over the year to improve on our previous year’s performance and demonstrate that we are serious about our mission to achieve excellence in all that we set out to do,” he said. Accord FETA Freight has certainly improved its performance significantly; it was in ninth position for the Best Network Office ranking the previous year.
