Famous Pacific Shipping (FPS) Group – the global forwarding and NVOCC system - has celebrated its 15th anniversary with one of its best-attended Annual Conferences.
101 delegates, including 2 new members and 5 candidates, attended the 4 day event at the Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The programme included the Annual General Meeting, workshops on IT, network development and marketing, and two days of intensive 1:1 meetings between members.
At the gala dinner, 28 founder members who had attended every past Annual Conference were publicly recognised with awards.
During the AGM, conference host and outgoing Chairman of the FPS Group Advisory Board, Gihan Nanayakkara, was re-elected for a further two year term. Sam Aparo of Famous Pacific Shipping in Melbourne was appointed to the Board, replacing Michele Dougal (Brisbane, Australia), and Iskandar Zulkarnain of FPS Indonesia replaced his colleague Hendratmoko Walujo. Kettivit Sittisoontornwong (Thailand) was also re-elected.
Commenting on the event, Chairman Gihan Nanayakkara said: "This was one of the best annual conferences in our history, demonstrating the strong commitment of our members to support FPS and take it forward. We discussed new products, shared ideas and went away with many new initiatives to work on."
He concluded: "I am delighted to be continuing in my role, and look forward to helping steer FPS Group through an exciting period over the next two years. We have achieved a great deal in the past 15 years, but the much greater potential still lies ahead of us."
