Ndola-based Halifax Freight Services has broken into the movement of power transmission equipment after its managing director Perry Siatulye was appointed director of the newly formed Consolidated Power Projects (Conco) Zambia. Launched in November 2010, Conco is already supplying high-voltage equipment to the Copperbelt and this was cleared and forwarded by Halifax . “We are working on a number of other contracts,” he says. Conco is active in the mining, municipal and industrial markets throughout South Africa. Other countries in which it is active include Namibia and Saudi Arabia. Perry says Halifax has differentiated itself from traditional clearing and forwarding agents by getting involved in the supply of goods as well. The company is an approved supplier to the Zambian government, for which it sources a wide range of goods.
