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.”
