Mainfreight Express Lines – Sylvia Tsai
Logistics Assignment
One afternoon, end of 2006, with big joy Aubery
and I walked out lease office of that big blue
building in where we just signed up the future
office for Hong Kong team. Our office was so
packed by now. We needed a bigger place.
The new site is 100m3 bigger in space in that
we can add in more or less 13-15 work stations,
in the consideration of the expectation growth in
the coming 3 years, excluding the future
acquisition of business in America. Came
along a huge bonus that we will have a
panoramic view of Victoria Harbour and old
airport, at no extra spending. Just nice.
best to carry on business forward. At times,
they stopped and contributed their time and
efforts in preparing the members to adapt to the
idea to move and work in a new neighbourhood;
besides taking after business hours to plan the
logistics for the big day.
As soon as the operation server was shut down
on Friday night, a major Mainfreight logistics
work began. All the young leaders were given a
role here or there to monitor and to help the
removal plan be carried out flawlessly.
And it was. By 3.00pm on Saturday, the rest of
the team came in new location and happily
found they could almost start working as usual
except they needed to unpack their own boxes
and positioned personal tools in place.
The work of renovation commenced at no time
as soon as the space is released to us. The big
day is Saturday, 30 March. No time can be
wasted. The electricians are the first group
started the work, followed the carpenters. As
the work moved forward, the feelings of anxiety
and excitement merged in the air in the office. It
was the favourite topic in everyone’s daily
conversation over the weeks.
Aubery and her administration team were hiring
service, shopping furnitures, more printers and
new phone system at the best deals; our
operation teams and sales were performing their
Mainfreight Express Lines (Hong Kong and
Shenzhen) just released the 06/07 results, in
that we made 20% growth on profit than the
year before, but is 2% short on the expectation.
For next round, we target to make 25% more.
Therefore, my dear fellow branch managers, the
answer is NO to any request of more discount,
rebate…
Big thanks must go to our young leaders and
hard working team, together they turned a big
task to a simple job.
They are true blue.
