'It's all about innovation'

Finding innovative ways of remaining competitive in an ever-changing global logistics market is key to sustainability, says Blain Kondiah, managing director of Turners Shipping. “And forming strategic partnerships is key to our success,” he said. Three years ago Turners Shipping joined BDP International’s global network as its South African partner and recently topped the list of partner companies in the annual BDP International review - scoring in areas of volumes moved, accuracy of information, and profitability. The company was rated the most active partner ahead of those in Japan, Switzerland, Sweden and Israel. “This is an important market for the logistics industry as it is the gateway to much of the sub- Saharan region and our results in the recent survey endorse this,” says Kondiah.
