The National Forwarder understands the hassle of moving from one country to another only too well. With our experience and knowledge, customers can leave these logistics headaches to us. Hence, to cater specifically to Singapore students studying in Australian universities, The National Forwarder launched a new service called the iBox. Unveiled recently in conjunction with IDP Education, the iBox is an easy-to-use, low-cost method of moving one’s personal effects. For an all-inclusive price, the iBox can be collected and delivered door-to-door to major cities across Australia. “We expect students to make use of this service in a big way. Apart from the iBox, there are very few economical alternatives to move one’s personal effects to Australia.” Said Mr Vimalan, Head of National’s Professional Movers department. “A lot of research and background work has been invested to come up with the iBox, which is specifically designed to achieve the optimal space and the lowest cost possible for these students”, he stressed. “Moreover, we will handle every step of the move and ensure that it is totally hassle-free for the students”. For more information on the iBox, please call Tel: 6546-1211 or email: mover@national.sg

The National Forwarder celebrated a time of social camaraderie with our valued employees and their families on morning of 9th Aug 2009. With lots of good food, drinks and fun, this event was held on a quiet stretch of Changi Beach. Our hearty laughter and jovial conversations soon woke up this sleepy part of Singapore’s east. Our sporting spouses and children also joined in the fun as they participated in the outdoor games and activities. Kudos to the organizing committee for a job well done!

The National Forwarder held its annual “Thank You” dinner this year at the Orchard Hotel on the 25th April. Hosted by the management and staff of The National Forwarder, hundreds of loyal and long-time customers attended this evening of fine food, drinks and entertainment. As part of National’s commitment to good corporate citizenry, the company presented a cheque to the Downs Syndrome Association of Singapore, a charity organization supported by The National Forwarder for many years. Customers were seen having a merry time catching up with old friends and making new ones as the evening went on. Clearly, the two key elements of The National Forwarder’s success were clearly present that night – the valued customers and the dedicated staff. We look forward to many more Thank You dinners such as these in the years to come!
