There is still space in the Zambian
market for smaller agencies as
they are more flexible and offer the
personal touch that does not come
as easily for bigger companies,
says Perry Siatulye of Ndola-based
Halifax Freight Services.
“We are always
flexible. As
the owner and
manager I do
not just sit in my
office.
I get involved in
the operations
myself.”
His speciality is
clearing.
“My life is
clearing,” he says.
Siatulye also has first-hand
experience of being a shipper
himself as he imports toys and
other goods to his own account for
sale and distribution.
Halifax offers the full range of
logistics services, including the
procurement of
supplies.
It and other
small agencies
punch above their
weight through
partnerships.
“You need to be
well connected all
along the route in
order to provide
quality service,”
he says.
