G.H forwarding and the “Golden Age” of China and UK

On January 31, 2018, British Prime Minister Theresa May visited China with her delegation and took part in a series of important events. 2018 is a new start for China’s opening up to the outside world and the bilateral trade cooperation between China and Britain. According to H.M. Revenue and Customs, the bilateral trade in goods between UK and China was USD39.53 billion, increasing 12.9% from January to June in 2018. The value of British exports to China is USD14.5 billion US dollars, which increase by 33.0% and account for 5.8% of total UK exports. In June, China became the fifth largest UK Export market and the fourth largest source of imports.

The top four commodities that Britain exports to China are precious metal products, transportation equipment, mechanical and electrical products as well as mineral products. From January to June, each month’s export value is were USD3.92 billion, USD3.20 billion, USD1.84 billion and USD1.74 billion, respectively, accounting for 27.0%, 22.0%, 12.7% and 12.0% of total UK export to China.

The first “London renminbi business quarterly report” jointly released by the City of London and the People’s Bank of China’s European representative office on September 26 shows that the second quarter of this year was 69 billion pounds, at the same time, London has become the world’s second largest offshore RMB clearing center.

The first China International Import Expo brought new opportunities for close cooperation between China and the UK, and worked more closely with Chinese partners to explore more Chinese buyers. The UK Pavilion will show the world’s leading companies in the fields of healthcare and life sciences, finance and professional services, education, creative industries, artificial intelligence and big data with innovation as the theme. In addition to the National Pavilion, UK companies including Jaguar Land Rover, British Airways, AstraZeneca, Standard Chartered Bank, etc., also set up booths at the Expo.

We, G.H forwarding, is committed to the development of import business and in-depth study of the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping. Currently, world multi-polarization, economic globalization, social information and cultural diversity, which has a close relationship with human destiny, is develop deeply. Peace, development, cooperation and win-win have become the mainstream. The Chinese and British sides have both adapted to the changes of the times, combining the development stages of the two countries and the needs of cooperation to endow the Chinese and British relations with a new era connotation and create an enhanced version of the “Golden Age”  together. Under the leadership of British Prime Minister, we believe that UK will continue to keep open after the Brexit so that UK and China can have a expectation of establishing a broader economic and trade relationship and open a new era of cooperation and partner vision.

 

Our company expects the two sides can build a “globalized Britain” and a “global China” for the benefit of the two countries.

The Shanghai Marathon 2018

Our company chairman Mr. Zhou Lingfeng started running full marathons in Ningbo, it was the summer of 2015 and he felt very tired running the Marathon – and almost lost his way.  When he finally arrived in the finish line, he made a decision to find out how to overcome this obstacle and excel in running full marathons.

Earlier this week in the Shanghai International Marathon 2018.11.18, running in the rain he managed to get a great time in the over 50s category: 03:44:08. It was the first time he participated in the Shanghai International marathon because its hard to qualify – all applications are checked.  As a reqular marathon runner over the past few years, he managed to get approved.  Another one of our runners, Hark did not get a place.

After running a lot of marathons, he wanted to share his experience with us in running as it could help us in many ways.  He bought 50 books “Das Grosse Laufbuch”, to give to people within our company as a way to encourage us to run more and also understand how to run.

“Das Grosse Laufbuch “allowed him to run and take his running to the next level, he hopes that with these books, it can also help the people within the company that want to run, to learn and also take themselves up to another level in fitness, running and in life.

Teambuilding Weekend

On a weekend that signified a distinct drop in temperature in Ningbo, G.H Forwarding moved to a lakeside resort on the outskirts of Ningbo to have a final teambuilding weekend for 2018.

The resort was a great setting with a Christmas tree set up already, the only thing missing was snow!

Taking advantages of being so close to the great outdoors, we were able to start the days with a Tai Chi type of morning exercise to vitalise body and mind for the day ahead.

Time was spent productively with the main people from our different branch offices flying into Ningbo – Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, Guangzhou and Vietnam offices were all present.

It started off with a day of rain on Saturday, but we were pleasantly awoken on Sunday by scenic white as light snow fell overnight.

You could feel the positive energy in the room throughout the weekend as everyone connected and discussed plans for 2019.

We are ready to build and make it a great 2019, it will be a fantastic year!  G.H Forwarding – Your agent in China!

Our Vietnam office is 1 year old!

Our Vietnam office, G.H Logistics is 1 year old now!  Here are some of the memories over the past year…

In the beginning, the branch office only consisted of our branch manager, Ms. Lotus and Mia, the very first members of the team in Vietnam.  Then, Linh and Tee joined the team shortly after and we spent our first Christmas together.  We shared much joy and happiness care for each other, while at the same time creating many memories.

 

The first time we met our company chairman and Mr. Hawk, they had travelled a long way from China to Vietnam to meet us in person.  Our chairman is a very handsome man, and our Mia went so far as to say he is so nice and makes us feel very comfortable and like part of a family.  We had a cosy dinner to celebrate the opening of our Vietnam office and at that time, the U23 Vietnam reached the very first high award as the 2nd ranked of AFC U23 Championship, so this adds to a beautiful memory for us to keep in our hearts.

We have also had the chance to visit China as new members of the G.H. family during the annual dinner which is normally held after the Chinese New Year.  All members from the Vietnam office flew to Ningbo to take part.

What left us with a deep impression and touched our hearts was the RMB 520 we received from our company chairman, it means 我爱你 in Chinese.  Very sweet, don’t you think?

So a lot of time has passed and we have been together for more than 365 days now as a family, we have grown and have more members now.  Our big sister, Ms. Lily, Ms. Sammie, our sweetheart Nicole and some internship friends, we have right to think about the big and bright future that the G.H family holds for all of us.

We can’t promise that everything will be perfect but we know that we will become better day by day, step by step.

You have shown and given me a reason to be a better one. Thank you to the G.H family!

In case you didn’t know…

We’ve been around for a long time now in different networks such as the WCA, JCTrans, GLA, WIFFA and iSEA, and though we have branch offices in Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou (also covering Shenzhen) and Hochiminh (Vietnam) – and very soon in Tianjin – we generally focus more on what we can do in Ningbo where our headquarters is based.

The reason?  When attending network meetings, you will have access to many companies from China and you’ll find that no company can be best at everything in every place, so while I can say our service mentality and efficiency is more or less the same throughout our company, I can’t say that our branch offices are as strong as our headquarters in Ningbo.

In Ningbo – while not boring you with the facts of what a general freight forwarder can do – we are also direct booking agents.  In northern and eastern China, you need to be a booking agent in order to book directly to a shipping line, in other words, you need to work with a booking agent such as ourselves.  We have direct contracts with the shipping lines, while other forwarders who don’t have this status (class 1 forwarder) will have to submit their bookings to us.

In this respect, we can work quicker and more efficient for your bookings.  Whether you use our service contracts with shipping lines on PREPAID or your own service contracts on COLLECT, we will give you the same quick and efficient service for your ocean freight bookings, ensuring you get information sent to you as soon as WE know.

Then, if you like how we work in Ningbo, maybe you would also consider our service from our other branch offices.  That’s the general idea.  So next time if you bump into me at a network meeting, stop me and say “hi” to learn more.  It’s good to connect 😉
