We understand that logistics is a people business.

We consider our employees as vital partners and drivers in delivering the efficient service we pride ourselves on.

With the help of our employees, we have defined behaviours that reinforce our values. Our values serve as a cornerstone for our actions and describe how we behave in all our encounters.

Bidvest International Logistics goes all-out to maintain a work environment where every employee can develop competencies consistent with our values and business goals. We prioritise the growth and learning of our employees through a number of learning programmes we offer.

We are also involved in corporate social investment initiatives as an integral part of our value creation process based on partnership and collaboration with relevant beneficiaries.

We believe in sustainable growth and progression, and what can be more sustainable than training and building the career of our employees, providing a platform and opportunity for them to learn, grow and progress.

Partners in Progress.
