AS WE celebrate the 75th birthday of SAAFF (SA Association of Freight Forwarders) we are not looking back through a history of three-quarters of a century.
At the insistence of chairman Peter Krafft, m.d. of Rohlig & Co, we are doing what all in the industry should be doing.
Look forward to the new millennium, he said, and what it demands of the freight forwarder. In this anniversary feature we have five of the senior members of the industry focusing on this subject: Heading for the new millennium - What does this hold for the SA freight forwarding industry? Giving their views are: Peter Krafft; Alan Cowell, outgoing executive director of SAAFF; Edward Little, the incoming executive director; Peter Meihuizen, m.d. of Meihuizen Freight and chairman of the Cape Town Association of Freight Forwarders; and Ron Meredith, divisional director of Union Transport and chairman of the CT Airfreight Association - the Cape Province's sister body of the Airfreight Forwarders Association (AFA) in Gauteng.
