Sri Lankan freight forwarder Eagle Logistics recently announced that it was celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2010. The company was started in 2005 with three employees and has since grown to encompass 45 employees in offices in Colombo and Katunayake.
Indicating that it is an "import logistics provider involved with many corporate customers in Sri Lanka", the company says it offers air and sea freight and customs brokerage services and its plans for the next two years are to expand into warehousing. The company also notes it is the local representative for BDP International.
According to Eagle Logistics Managing Director Asanga Weerackody, “our strength is staff and not just staff but young staff. 95% of our staff members are under 27 years of age and most of them started their career in this company 5 years ago and today they are managing the entire business...
I have seen many other developed countries such as Singapore, Malaysia who use their young blood for the front office operations and it is working very well and we try to adopt the same system at our office as well". |
