The award was given to different companies from 65 countries from across the World. In East African Countries, only Rwandan and Kenyan based companies managed to secure the award.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to IGIHE, the Gorilla Logistics Ltd Managing Director, Fred Seka said the company dedicates the award to Rwandans as it is a result of government\u2019s programmes aimed at facilitating private investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe dedicate it to Rwandans because it comes from government\u2019s programmes that promote competitiveness among local investors to the international level\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>The award is an initiative of Business Initiative Directions, international allied companies conducting research in clearance and shipping services.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, they award best service provider companies in customs clearance and goods shipping services from different countries. <\/p>\n<p>According to Seka, in Rwanda three small companies providing such services were scrutinized and Gorilla logistics Ltd emerged the best.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThey conducted research in our clients. We were not aware of the exercise but finally we realized how clients appreciate our services by enabling us taking home this international award\u201d Seka boasts.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the award is a result of collaboration between staff during the monitoring of services offered to clients, \u201cwe always insure that no client get delayed services or claim poor services from us\u201d <\/p>\n<p>They also consider, the role of a company in the economy of the country and development of its residents through job creation as well as employees\u2019 welfare, he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He said that being a Rwandan company run by Rwandans and offer international services is another advantage that made them win the award.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Gorilla Logistics Ltd scooped the same award from Business Initiative Directions.<\/p>\n<p>Gorilla Logistics Ltd started operation in 2008 with three employees but today, the company employs between 27 and 30. It operates from all Rwanda\u2019s border posts as well as at the ports of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22337 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award1.jpg\" alt=\"Fred Seka (C) and the company staff share light moments while celebrating the award.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22336 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award0.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22338 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22335 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22334 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award7.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22333 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award6.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22332 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22331 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22330 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/award3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gorilla Logistics Ltd, a regional Freight Forwarding Company has scooped an international award over good services in facilitating clients during customs clearance and goods shipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-36144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36144\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36144"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=36144"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=36144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
