Welcome to the First Freight Website
First
Freight Couriers was incorporated in 1996. The
founding members have a clear and in-depth knowledge of
the courier industry, and have extensive backgrounds
within the Courier Industry. The reason for forming
another courier company was the lack of personalised
serviced being offered to customers, as well as the lack
of information provided to customers. The Directors felt
that First Freight would fit into a niche market, and formed a company that
not only offers a superior service, but one that will also
focus on the individual needs of the customer.
In 2000 DNA Supply Chain Management purchased 65% of
First Freight Couriers, in order for the Management of
First Freight to gain knowledge and expand into the
Supply Chain Services market. DNA felt
that their focus did not lie in the courier market and
they felt the need for a distribution arm of their
business - which resulted in the inception of DNA First
Freight Pty Ltd.
On the 1st
October 2001, First Freight Couriers was once again a
privately owned business. The original Directors of
First Freight Couriers, approached DNA Supply Chain
Management to buy back the 65% shares, as the markets
were too diverse to integrate the business successfully.
On the 1st of March 2002 Loads Direct was established.
Loads Direct (Pty) Ltd is a separate entity which
operates under the First Freight (Pty) Ltd banner, hence
extending our diversity in the market place. This is a
common ideology which is to strive to continuously add
value to our clients. We found a niche in the market
that requires various direct loads for customers. This
service enables us to collect from the customer and
deliver to the consignee as a dedicated load.
Since
2002, the company has grown from strength to strength.
The two founding Directors are still personally involved
in the day to day running and management of the company,
and are constantly striving to come up with new
innovative ideas to take First Freight Couriers to an
even higher level, enabling us to offer our Customers a
Superior level of service. All the Managers adopt a
hands-on approach, and the philosophy of the business is
"paying attention to detail." The Directors and Managers
are continually looking for ways to adapt the business,
the pricing structures and the services to suit the
Customers individual needs. The First Freight Couriers
staff are all committed to offering our Customers the
best possible service. |
