HAFFA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TWO-YEAR TERM
CONTINUES AFTER 2018 AGM
The Hongkong Association of Freight Forwarding and Logistics Limited (HAFFA) Executive Committee embarked upon the second half of its current two-year term following the Annual General Meeting held on April 27, 2018. Held at the Regal Kowloon Hotel, Tsimshatsui East, HAFFA Chairman Brian Wu of BEL International Logistics Limited chaired the meeting, attended by members of the organisation. Commented Mr. Wu: “The last 12 months have been amongst the most crucial in the history of the Hong Kong logistics industry. A number of key changes to global industry operations have tested the agility and adaptability of Hong Kong freight forwarders and logistics operators. With the support and input of its members, HAFFA has been able to rise to these challenges with timely, considered and vigorous responses. There is much more to be achieved in the year ahead, and I am grateful for the continuity the two-year Executive Committee term brings, enabling us to build upon all we have accomplished on behalf the industry so far together.”
