Awards Shipping aims for the high spots BACK in February 1990,
two young men named Simon Dun and Ferrari Wong opened a new shipping
agency in 350 square feet of office space.
They had little to help them other than several years' experience
in freight forwarding and their enthusiasm. In particular, they
had no staff but what they did have was a burning desire to succeed
and an ambition to stand out in the fiercely competitive forwarding
world as a name that customers could trust. So, with a flash of
glamour, they named the company Awards Shipping
But even this milestone looks modest in comparison to the network
of Awards Shipping offices steadily opening across Asia. The company
now has offices in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore,
South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
In an effort to meet the fast changing environment of the Hong
Kong market place, in addition, in order to cope with great expansion
in China, the company has made restructure and adopted a new company
name as "Awards Shipping Agency Ltd" since 01 April 2001.
Now, Awards Shipping is having ten offices in Dongguan, Fuzhou,
Guangzhou, Huizhou, Jiangmen, Ningbo, Shanghai, Shantou, Shenzhen
and Xiamen. The company has also been busy expanding its system
of agents in Africa, Australia, Canada, Central & South America,
Europe, Indian Sub-Continent, Mediterranean, Middle East, New Zealand
and USA, aiming to build a global network.
Awards Shipping group now has a workforce of over 460 people
worldwide trained and motivated in providing efficient service to
customers. Awards Shipping is acting as general shipping agencies
