New membership with Freight Forwarder Network
The Hong Kong branch of Europa Air & Sea has announced its membership of Freight Forwarder Network as it continues to boost its overseas offer.
Europa Worldwide Group Air & Sea division
Europa Air & Sea is the dedicated Air & Sea division of leading independent logistics provider, Europa Worldwide Group, with services provided including a wide range of inbound and outbound air and sea options, such as Door-to-Door, Door-to-Terminal, Port-to-Port and Cross Trade movements.
The Hong Kong branch of Europa Air & Sea opened in 2011 and oversees the movement of freight in and out of China.
The Freight Forwarder Network membership
Freight Forwarder Network is a not for profit organisation which only allows two members to represent each country, except for larger countries such as China and USA. Members make up a team of qualified and select forwarders able to meet present logistic challenges.
Membership of Freight Forwarder Network will allow Europa Air & Sea Hong Kong access to a series of events run by the network, including attendance at its annual meeting alongside 73 other network members, this year taking place in Singapore in March.
As Europa’s Air & Sea branch in Hong Kong continues to grow its reputation in the region, the FFN membership was awarded following a rigorous selection process which included in-depth interviews requiring Europa Air & Sea to demonstrate its strategic operational plan in the region.
Comment from Angus Hind, Europa Air & Sea Director
“The value of belonging to an established and reputable international network such as Freight Forwarder Network, can’t be underestimated.
“Over the last four years, the Hong Kong branch of Europa Air & Sea has gone from strength to strength.
“We are now at a point where we would like to grow the business even further and raise awareness of our expertise.
“Freight Forwarder Network can help us to achieve this via networking with peers in the region, opening up new business opportunities and providing support when needed.
“Membership is testament to Europa Air & Sea’s proven ability to deliver an outstanding service. Europa Air & Sea is incredibly proud to be chosen as only one of two companies to become members in Hong Kong.”
Comment from Anja Kienen, Executive Director of FFN-Freight Forwarder Network
“Europa’s Air & Sea division in Hong Kong has a track record of providing an impeccably high level of service.
Throughout the selection process, Europa was able to demonstrate their passion and commitment as well as an appetite for growth. We believe our existing members will benefit from Europa’s knowledge and experience, as well as open up business opportunities for Europa itself.”
