FedEx seals deal with Sharjah Chamber of Commerce
The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry has signed a strategic partnership agreement with FedEx to provide special courier services and products for its members. Under the terms of the agreement, FedEx will provide the SCCI with key document and package transportation services – with packages and documents picked up from the SCCI Headquarters and delivered to any point within FedEx’s coverage area.
Signing the partnership agreement were Khaled Bin Butti Bin Obaid, assistant director general for membership and branch affairs, SCCI, and Hamdi Osman, senior vice president operations – Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Africa and GSP markets.
Khaled Bin Butti Bin Obaid said: “Our new partnership with FedEx is part of the SCCI”s Membership Management Plan, a strategic initiative that is aimed at providing our members with world-class services that can help them in their efforts to increase and improve efficiencies, productivity and profit.
“Our choice to partner with FedEx is the result of the chamber’s search for a company that could provide our members with key services and products that do not compromise on quality and strictly adheres to set terms and conditions.
“Moreover, this new partnership not only complements our thrust to provide more value added services to our members but also helps us in the bid to position Sharjah as an ideal business and investment destination in the Middle East region.”
Under the new partnership, FedEx will provide SCCI members with services that include the installation of automated devices in strategic locations to enhance efficiency and reduce paperwork. FedEx will also assign a FedEx representative to be stationed at the SCCI Headquarters.
Aside from the agreed key services and products, FedEx will also provide SCCI
members with strategic customer service training and will also assist the chamber in organising private sector symposiums–introducing Sharjah’s business sector to best practices that can be adopted to increase productivity and efficiency.
