www.fllogistics.com | Vol 2 April 2015 From the Editors desk Reaching New Horizons, From the Heart of Launching of New Office & Regional Director Warehouse in Jebel Ali, Dubai, UAE 7th of January 2015 was another achievement day for Frontline Logistics. Our brand new office as well as warehouse situated at VC 03 was inaugurated by Regional Director Mr. Nassar BP. We all should have a dream. Reality and Dreams Realized Frontline Logistics was formed half a decade back with such a dream. Our Vision is “To achieve Global recognition as a leading Logistic provider and best choice of customer and business partners”. Have we succeeded in our Vision? The offices in Kuwait, Dubai, Jebel Ali Freezone, Iraq and a repesentation office in India with a strong committed work force of 150 plus personnel serving multinationals, local companies, Government sectors, Armies and Hydrocarbon Sector as well as our affiliations to such giant networks as WCA, C5C, IAM for sure will give answer to the question. Frontline Logistics Footprints which will be circulated quarterly henceforth, is a small attempt to bridge us with our customers as well as our associates worldwide. An attempt will be made to keep all of you informed of our strategic business moves and how we wish to confront the Global challenges. Thereafter the Regional Manager Mr. Vivian Castelino, welcomed the gathering as well as complimented the Directors of Frontline Logistics, Mr. Nassar, Mr. Anwar, Mr. Afsal and Mr. Musthafa. He also congratulated the Manager of the newly setup office Mr. Janardan and wished him all the best in the new venture. In his reply Nassar complimented Vivian and Anwar in realizing his dream of having an own facility in JAFZA. To celebrate the occasion, a cake was cut by Nassar, Vivian, Anwar and Janardan, in the spirit of family togetherness. Janardan thanked one and all for attending. Gathering was taken to the new warehouse for viewing followed by light refreshments. Exceeding the expectations is what we are committed to. Services Unlimited is what we are known to be in our business. Making customers competative, not by offering cheap rates, but giving the right solution is our aim. Growth of Business as well as our personnel is our cherished Goal. When the heart speaks, reality and dreams have their expression in true sense. For a youthful and enthusiastic business entity like Frontline Group both reality and dreams set the pace of growth and determine the effort required to be made. Though Logistics is an art and science of speed, for a Logistics Company it makes sense via putting its imprints in the market it occupies. The emergence of Frontline as a sought after brand was the result of such imprints in its timeline. Frontline Footprints is a folio of our realities and dreams. More specifically, our newsletter illustrates the chronicles of our journey through the recent past, aspirations for the future and the reflections of the good work we have been investing to shape the future. The past, present and future meet here to energize us for great tasks. Let us dream, visualize, work and grow together. Once again, welcome to Frontline Footprints.
