Domestic courier service looks to expand

CargoCare will focus on expanding its Durban domestic courier department and extending its services throughout South Africa, says Durban company director, Krish Yenketas. He told FTW that the Domestic and International Couriers department was established in March last year, and on the back of the successful launch the company planned to provide an advanced network of services to and from the Durban/Richards Bay areas. He sees plenty of room for domestic growth with Nadine Saunders and her team providing domestic freight and distribution services to complement the company’s international airfreight and ocean freight offerings. He said Durban’s increased efforts to improve its offering in the “race toward globalisation” had expanded business prospects. “The areas of trade as well as new business interaction are growing exponentially as the Durban and Richards Bay areas increasingly move towards urbanisation,” said Yenketas, adding that the company had consistently seen trade and business development at the Durban branch. Offering a domestic courier service provides diversity and stability, which means that even as the company experiences the constant rise and fall of the economy, it can weather the fluctuations better, he said.
