In 1987, AFC
Worldwide Express was established with the premise and
goal of being the best transportation and logistics
company in the business. Prior to the founding of AFC
we observed, in the field of transportation as a
non-asset based organization, that there was an
unfulfilled gap and need. Quality of services and
execution in exceeding customer expectations, along
with a unified company offering, remained unmet in our
industry.
|
We therefore sought and
resolved to fill that gap with a commitment to exceed
customer expectations in every aspect of logistics and
transportation. The early years of AFC focused on building
infrastructure, technology, and process; each of which
encompass best practices and innovation. Embedded in all,
and foundational, are our core values which remain
required in all that we do.
We believe that
personalized customer service, the dynamic human element,
can serve as our foremost value. Our core values of being
reliable, flexible, and predictable, provide that if we
cannot do it, it cannot be done! We represent the entire
transportation industry and will leverage any offering
available to achieve our mandate of “exceeding
expectations”. As we continue in our tireless pursuit of
excellence, the AFC model continues to remain and shall be
dynamic – adjusting to the ever changing requirements in
the supply chain while never losing sight of our core
values and foundational principles.
The AFC business model
has been framed and fashioned to meet the customer,
where-they-are and address their needs; which reflects our
commitment to be anywhere, do anything, at anytime. In
doing so, each office, staff and operator is empowered to
fulfill the customer expectations and exceed them; with as
few layers as possible requiring management approval. The
end result, and only acceptable desired outcome, is
execution, performance and customer satisfaction in;
quality of service, competitive pricing and value added
services. We must bring value – we exist for the customer!
Germane to who we are and why we are confident that we
will achieve these goals is founded upon the diverse
talent which we presently have and are committed to
leveraging on behalf, and for the benefit, of our
customers. Our executive staff, along with operators is
aligned with our core values which mandate a diverse
community in people, ethnic groups, and industry
expertise. This diversity is represented, embraced by, and
provides that AFC has on staff personnel from
transportation suppliers as well as shippers in
conjunction with support staff representing all primary
disciplines in business.
Our mission on the outset
remains foremost today. We believe this is not only
attainable, as we are committed to innovate and reinvent
as needed, but in doing so we will be known not solely as
the best in the business in “exceeding expectations”
nationally, but also globally in an ever changing world.
Our goal and commitment is to be the first option
considered when it has to be done right the first time –
no excuses!
Sincerely,
Glenn Henderson
“Consistently
Exceeding Customers’ Expectations.”
