New venture launched

A new cargo distribution
and consulting company
has opened its doors on the
East Rand.
Cargo, Office and
Property Services
(CopServe) is an
Enterprise Development
initiative whose initial
focus will be to serve
its main client, Safcor
Panalpina.
Its service portfolio
includes cargo distribution,
cargo drawing, facilities
management, consulting
and office administration.
According to managing
director Ahmed Suleman,
76 staff members and
a fleet of 22 trucks
have transferred to the
new company, with an
additional 14 trucks
on a contractual hire
arrangement.
“While Safcor Panalpina
has no shareholding in
CopServe, it has signed
a five-year contract
with us to ensure we are
financially stable and a
viable business.”
