Seabourne Logistics Extends Its South African footprint
Seabourne Logistics Extends Its South African footprint. From the automotive industry to the agricultural community, new road freight and fast delivery options are now available thanks to Seabourne Logistics, which opened a branch in Mbombela, formerly known as Nelspruit, in Mpumalanga.
The Nelspruit branch was officially launched in February. It is anticipated to move to new flagship premises soon that will include warehousing space, according to Seabourne Logistics Director Garry Harris. Garry is a former Nelspruit resident who lived in the community for 19 years and attended Lowveld High School. “It is so great to be able to open a Seabourne Logistics office in my hometown, and I look forward to connecting with old friends again.” He said in a statement. Services include overnight and economy, courier, and next-day delivery options. A delivery service is also available from Johannesburg to Komatipoort before 12:00. In addition, there is a 48-hour delivery service from Komatipoort to Cape Town, George, East London, Port Elizabeth and vice versa via the road network.
Zenda Stoffberg, newly appointed Branch Manager said in a statement, “I feel privileged to have been afforded this opportunity, as there is something different about Seabourne Logistics. It strives for excellence, is very professional, and goes the extra mile for its clients. They are kind and friendly and welcomed me with open arms, and I do indeed feel part of the family. The work ethic is incredible. Seabourne Logistics is well organised, technology-driven, and has excellent communications. It is certainly the best CSD department I have ever worked with.”
Husband-and-wife team Garry and Ezelle Harris set up the business in 2002. After establishing a significant footprint in the automotive industry and other niche sectors such as wine and pharmaceuticals, they sold a 70% stake in the business to the Seabourne Group in 2009. Seabourne Logistics will expand on the group’s global platform and further extend the synergies between the different in-country businesses.
