The convention was held on 20th Nov, with lots of professional logistics specialists sharing their experience about how WIFFA expands themselves to Europe, Japan, Australia and Africa, and also how to seize the chance of development logistics in Yangtze River Delta.

Conference View

This is a great opportunity for all the logistics companies in China to learn and share how to go abroad, come up with suitable solutions to deal with different kind of shipments or transportation in foreign area. We all know that as globalization is growing stronger and stronger, Chinese logistics companies will need to face this, and we need to co-ordinate our efforts and grow together to make it a better future for the logistics industry.  It was a great meeting and we also learned a lot from the convention!

Banquet at night

This is The banquet on the night of the convention.  It boasted plenty of fun and games and other entertainment, but most of all, there was plenty of connections made between everyone – of course the alcohol being served helped too 🙂

On 21st Nov, we were one of the many members to display our company and services by having our own booth. We met a lot of Chinese logistics companies who can provide excellent logistics services, in these cases we can work together and compliment each other to provide more services to our respective clients.  We can work like we are family and cover the routes all around the world with the most comprehensive and high quality services.

 

We always believe that we can make it a bright future for logistics. We, G.H Forwarding, are always by your side whenever you need us, we are your agent in China!

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 😉

Let’s Meet in Chongqing JCTrans!

The 9th Global Freight Forwarders Conference 2018 will be held in Chongqing from 17th OCT to 19th OCT. In the conference, forwarders all around the world will attend and have more communication with each other for the opportunity to develop business.

As always, JCTrans GCP member G.H FORWARDING will be attending the meeting!  We will have a table at the conference to please feel free to visit our table if you are also attending.  Hope to meet you and discuss how to develop the market and business together, it would be also great to get to know each other more for good cooperation together 🙂

Is Shanghai The Next Job Opportunity?!

Let's Find Out From Our Shanghai’s Branch Manager, Kuroky

 

 

Most people I have met only go to Shanghai to be a tourist, take photogenic pictures at the bund, shop at Nanjing Road and go on a few nights out.

However, on 10th March at Ningbo on one of the busiest days for G.H Forwarding’s as it was their 2018 Annual Dinner organised by Cindy.

Somehow, after all the rehearsal practises by the different branches, I managed to speak to Kuroky, Shanghai’s branch manager about his“故事 (story)。”

Kuroky aged 31, began his career in a city that is very special to him as it is where he was born and grew up with up with his family and friends by his side from playing basketball matches to graduating at Shanghai University to achieving G.H Forwarding long-term target such as; achieving 13000TEU’s in 2017.

He quoted that Shanghai is “definitely the next opportunity” because it’s a city surrounded by foreigners who not only learn the language but, adapt to the Chinese culture in a modern city.

Additionally, due to Shanghai’s economic development making a huge impact to the world and networking with other partners to be able to achieve dreams and ambitions together plus improve his English.

He wasn’t sure which career path to specialise in however, his friends also known as colleagues in G.H Forwarding had taken care of him and taught him everything he needed to do anything he wanted in life.

Surprisingly, this inspired him to dedicate himself take on the roles and responsibilities of being a Branch Manager involving taking care of his team and meeting clients.

Kuroky does believe Shanghai can be the next destination for an opportunity to the undergraduates and postgraduates mainly due to businesses in South-East Asia, Northern Europe and many more who are relying more on Chinese companies.   

From speaking to him the statement that stood out the most about his journey was why he stood by G.H Forwarding as they were was different mainly because they have built an loyal, caring-loving family working environment. By maintaining this factor our G.H Forwarding team hope to increase the number colleagues and clients across the globe.

Interview with Qingdao’s Branch Manager, Lisa Zhang

Ever wondered what Lisa Zhang’s path to becoming a Branch Manager is?

 

On 1st August 2016, Lisa Zhang became Qingdao’s first Branch Manager of G.H Forwarding, a well-established Class 1 forwarding booking agent for shipping lines throughout Asia and Europe.

She began her journey in international logistics and supply chain 10 years ago, when she graduated from Ocean University of China, Qingdao and gained experienced in the field for many years before joining the company.

In her exact words, she chose to work for G.H Forwarding 3 years ago “as I liked their corporate culture, atmosphere and development of planning.”

By working alongside her boss, she had learnt how G.H Forwarding operated on daily basis allowing her to run the business from Qingdao smoothly. She had built a close relationship with her boss, other branch managers and colleagues who had supported her to achieve her ambitions over the years.

Her greatest achievement has been to take part in the establishment of the Qingdao Branch and be involved in the growth of the enterprise leading to Qingdao branch team to be better, bigger and stronger.

The CEO of G.H Forwarding, Zhou Lingfeng had taught her many things in particular taking responsibility of a large-scale organisation, maintaining gratitude and by receiving constant feedback on her management skills aiding the Qingdao team to continue growing.

A big challenge for us now is to expand plus develop the enterprise domestically and globally steadily but, rapidly; alongside keeping up with the logistics and supply chain market. We would like to focus on building upon our effective communication and efficient service to expand further through our social network and increase our global partners across Asia, Middle Eastern and Europe.
