Celtic adds trucks to cope with demand

IN A bid to keep up with the increasing freight
demand into Africa, Celtic Freight took delivery
of another 10 trailers last month, bringing the
overborder fleet to 80 trucks.
“Our team at Celtic Freight exceeded themselves
in October, living up to our motto of ‘Move the
cargo’,” says Celtic MD, Adrian Friend. “Huge volumes
of cargo destined for Zambia in the month of August
and September meant serious backlogs, but we are
now back to the normal dispatch of 48 hours.”
Friend says the continuous business growth led
to the opening of a new Livingstone depot on the
October 1, which consists of a parking facility for
30 trucks and trailers as well as workshops and a
warehouse for handling Livingstone-bound cargo.
