Logistics provider singled out for investments and corporate social responsibility in Africa

DUBAI – December 13, 2018 – Agility, a leading global logistics provider, has been recognized as Company of the Year by both The West Africa Regional Magazine and at the Meet the Farmers conference.

Agility Africa was named “Logistics Company of the Year” at the 2018 Meet the Farmers Conference last month in Dubai. The award recognized Agility Africa for its investments and initiatives across the continent, as well as for its corporate social responsibility activities.

Agility Africa currently has a 41-acre logistics park in Ghana and will open logistics parks in Maputo, Mozambique; Lagos, Nigeria; and Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire in 2019.

“Agility Africa believes that in order to support economic development and drive growth and prosperity, the necessary infrastructure must be in place to enable trade. Being recognized with these awards is testament to our commitment to developing world-class logistics and warehouse parks across the continent,” said Geoffrey White, CEO of Agility Africa.

The Logistics Company of the Year award was presented at the Meet the Farmers at the H-Hotel in Dubai, under the patronage of H.E. Saud Salim Al Mazrouei.
