Logan moves into Saaff hot seat

David Logan is the new chief executive officer of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders. A product of Marist Brothers College Durban, Logan has notched up several years in the freight forwarding and supply chain industries in South Africa and the United States. He started his career with the Rennies Group where he spent 16 years, rising up the ranks to become financial executive of Renfreight before taking up a position as senior vice president with Hellmann International in Miami. After a four year spell in the United States he returned to Rennies in South Africa, subsequently Safcor Panalpina, holding senior positions in both finance and operations. Currently he is general manager responsible for the Western and Eastern Cape with Barloworld Logistics Africa. He will leave the company on November 1 to join Saaff. “David is mandated to lead Saaff forward and enhance its position as not only the representative body of clearing and forwarding agents nationally but a leading organisation in the supply chain and logistics field,” said Saaff chairman Basil Pietersen.
