A loss for Safcor Panalpina RB

Lou Mulder, manager of Safcor Panalpina's Richards Bay office for 20 years, passed away last month at the age of 56 following a long illness. Mulder joined the company in Richards Bay in November 1988, and was a caring and compassionate manager who treated all his staff with respect and dignity. Through his management style, he was able to build an effective team handling difficult cargo. During his time at this branch, Mulder established very good relationships with clients moving cargo through Richards Bay and it was unusual to lose a client due to bad service. In fact, he ensured that his branch's service levels became the industry norm in Richards Bay. He was well liked by his peers in Bidfreight and continually sought to involve all possible parties within the Bidvest Group to handle shipments through Richards Bay. He was a devoted family man and leaves his wife Sue and son Loutjie.
