Chapman Freeborn expands in India to meet demand for on board couriers
BRITISH forwarder Chapman Freeborn intends to expand in India as part of the global hand-carry on board courier (OBC) specialist's strategy to build on success experienced in other emerging markets.
The company said it intends to increase its investment in the country mainly because of India's burgeoning economic growth of 7.6 per cent and its government's "Make in India" initiative that has provided a renewed impetus towards growth for the country's manufacturing industries with increasing demand for hand-carry services for automotive cargo, electrical components and other time-critical equipment.
Chapman Freeborn is also not taking any chances and as a part of its new expansion drive, the company has strengthened its business development team in India with the appointments of Franklin Henry and Paraq Joshi, said the STAT Trade Times of New Mumbai.
Both individuals have a wealth of experience to the company owing to their background in holding management and sales positions serving leading cargo airlines.
Said Chapman Freeborn country manager Shailendra Seth: "Working together with our international offices we will focus on expanding our specialist aircraft charter and OBC activities in India."
The team has extensive local market knowledge including an in-depth understanding of India's complex import and export regulations which have deterred other companies from developing hand-carry cargo services in the country.
"We have experienced a significant growth in demand to and from India over the last year as the benefits of our hand-carry services have become known," said general manager Nikilai Bergmann.
"India presents a real opportunity for us and we're excited about increasing the number of logistics companies and manufacturers who will have access to markets worldwide," he said.
