Freight Forwarder Beats Big Freeze
With news of the impending big freeze last week, International freight forwarder Transvalair showed their adaptability by answering a call from the Qatar Royal family to collect their personal effects and fly them out of the country to Doha before London was snowbound.
A team of four, led by MD Steve Morris, arrived outside the Dorchester Hotel with only a few hours notice to collect all their personal baggage and load it onto one of their trucks.
As the snow started to fall heavily, the freight forwarding team managed to get everything safely back to their warehouse at Gatwick before conditions became impossible. Even the MD was forced to abandon his car on his journey home as over thirty centimetres of snow fell making all major routes impassable.
The following morning, undeterred by the atrocious conditions and knowing the urgency of the consignment Transvalair despatched their vehicle to London Heathrow with two drivers armed with shovels and emergency supplies. Every bag collected made the afternoon flight to Doha and through their extensive list of worldwide partners, Transvalair had everything delivered to the Royal Familys’ residence in Doha within forty eight hours of the whole process starting. It only goes to show that, when it comes to international freight forwarding, nothing is allowed to get in the way.
