‘It’s all about communication’

Name of company: Excellence Forwarding Family members involved: Hans Houniet, his son Eric and daughter Samantha. Established... The company was established in 1994 after the company for which my father Hans and I were working at the time decided to close its doors. It had eight months previously started a shipping division that had allowed Hans to build up a nice agency network around the world. When it closed down, we saw it as an ideal opportunity to start our own business, and so Excellence Forwarding was born. Working with family demands... commitment to doing the very best we can at all times. One is always working harder to make it a success as it is your own and there is also a closeness working with family. Our biggest challenges … to sustain growth at all times. We don’t have the luxury of financial backing from a big corporate and that means getting through the hard times on one’s own. Our recipe for success: Communication – with in the company and with our clients, and excellent service levels. Our motto is: Straight Forward With Excellence Forwarding! Our future aspirations: As we continue to grow and expand we want to own our own warehouse facilities in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, becoming a company that offers a complete logistics package to our clients
