Holland
Benefited from past decisions to re-investment in ‘new’leadership and people
Highly successful strategy of new business development Leveraging off a trend of ‘growing imports’ in the European
Union Europe is the world's largest exporter of manufactured
goods and services, and is itself the biggest export marketfor around 80 countries
United Kingdom
Loss of three ‘senior clients’ Competitor ‘price-cutting’ Slow progress on the acquisition of new clients Re-investment in the business – IT and people
Germany
Strategic ‘foothold’ in this region through Air (Frankfurt)and Sea freight (Hamburg), ‘hubs’ of Germany
Germany is the second to largest exporter outside of Chinaand has a 10 % share of world trade
Extensive trade between Santova’s offices worldwide andGermany
Facilitate the growth of Santova’s planned offices in Africa
South Africa
Source and foundation to our innovation Most challenging trading zone of all global offices Significant growth in specialised projects Significantly re-engineered work flow processes Year-on-year improvement in efficiency and effectiveness
Australia
‘An economy in transformation’ Previously ‘exempt’ from financial crises, property crashes
and dot-com busts Seeking ‘alternative economies’ – agricultural, construction ,
‘new’ energies and e-commerce Benefits from past decisions to invest further in the ‘right
people’ Solid ‘new market’ business development – pharmaceuticals
China/Hong Kong
Pivotal role for value-added services at source ‘Shipping terms’ changed to enable end-to-end SCM Intellectual capital supporting client globalisation All the more strategic as Santova globalises
