Leaning on ‘famiglia’ for support and motivation

Afetsetra bteliaschheidn gth feo rs tsaifxf yreecarrus,i tLmeeen t company specialising in freight Aand travel in 1977 as a hobby while her children were small. It quickly became a full-time career for her as the business grew. All three daughters – Kim, Jill and Sabina – completed their tertiary education majoring in psychology, economics and marketing and went overseas to gain work experience in London and Italy as well backpack and see the world before returning home. Each, of their own accord, joined the business starting off as consultants and growing into management. Working together is a blessing since we are all based in different areas in SA with each running a business unit and also having national responsibility for marketing, administration and service backed by exceptional teams. We are fortunate to have hard-working and dedicated people on board and the success we have achieved today is largely due to their input over the years. Our recipe for success is absolute openness and integrity in all our dealings with clients and candidates. Our lines of communication are always open and quick decision making is an integral part of our success strategy. Not being corporate in structure allows for flexibility when required. It’s a 24/7 job and we never shut off from the business. Our biggest challenge... this latest recession. Our future aspirations: ● Continuing to offer value-added services to clients that we have serviced for the past 34 years. ● Importing skills from overseas through our relationships with our overseas agents. We enjoy assisting those South Africans wanting to return home while providing local clients with a choice of talent who have gained international exposure. ● Marketing executive consultants whose vast experience is needed for mentoring. ● Training matriculants from disadvantaged backgrounds entering the job market and helping prepare them for the working world. ● Giving back to society and supporting our various charities by involving the entire team directly in rewarding projects. ● To become the brand of choice as provider and adviser to the logistics industry. Our Motto: In line with our strong Italian culture “famiglia” is important to us. Our “famiglia” is a large one with each and every staff member adding value and insight. Our “famiglia” countrywide leans on each other for support , fresh ideas and continuous motivation…and we do enjoy the odd bottle of vino to celebrate each other’s success!
