THE four regional finalists, from among 17 entries in FIATA's 50th anniversary Young International Freight Forwarder of the Year Award have been chosen. They are Tjaka Segooa, of South Africa; Kendyl Baptiste, of Canada; Sarah Kate Skrypec, of Australia and Louis Perrin of the UK.
The entries drew from a wide range of dissertation topics. The work of the entrants demonstrated the complexity of processes carried out within the global supply chain and the logistics skills required to serve it.
The diverse subjects covered by the dissertations of this year's entrants included live plants, super cars, flexi-tanks, aid shipments, aircraft components, Antarctic ice and a rhinoceros.
Later this year the regional finalists will travel to International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations' (FIATA) World Congress in New Delhi to present their dissertations for the final judging.
The prize to be awarded to the winner principally consists of practical and academic training, including a week based at one of TT Club's regional centres in London, Hong Kong or New Jersey plus a week in TT Club's Head Office in London.
Additionally, one year's subscription to the International Transport Journal (ITJ) is granted to all four regional winners.
