In the words of Richard Shepard, Vice President and General Manager of Great Circle International, “Our team is thoroughly contented after finally completing this lengthy project with utmost precision. Executing this project has not always been easy since many of the pieces involved crane unloading which required the coordination of airport authorities as cranes on ramps must be planned well in advance. The largest piece of equipment moved by our team had a dimension of 11.5 m x 3.7 m x 2.1m and weight around 31,000 KG!”

Congratulation to Great Circle International Inc. for their commendable team effort!

The 579s improve reliability, fuel efficiency, and enhance driver productivity.

The new facility brings new potential for warehousing, staff, and clients. We’re excited to continue to make it happen in bigger and better ways.”

The second factor is undoubtedly Conqueror Network which has given us reliable partners everywhere and allowed us to go door-to-door in every corner of the globe.”

Mr. Gonçalo Ribeiro has further added that “We want to maintain the same numbers this year and grow again in 2019 for which I am counting on the help within the CQR Network.
