Chapman Freeborn Expands Its On Board Courier (OBC)/ Hand Carry Service

Online, September 16, 2011 (Newswire.com) - In response to growing demand, Chapman Freeborn's specialist On Board Courier (OBC) team has moved to new modern headquarters near Cologne-Bonn airport in Gernmany.

The Chapman Freeborn OBC team - which hand-delivers time-critical parts and important documents worldwide - has also been strengthened by the arrival of Pasquale Bellarosa to the position of Business Development and Sales Manager.

This extensive network enables Chapman Freeborn OBC to meet the growing demands for tailor-made courier solutions worldwide.

Mark Middleton, Chapman Freeborn Singapore Director says:

"On board courier, or more widely known as "hand-carry" in Asia, is growing as corporations and individuals realise the benefits and value of transporting time critical shipments that may be considered too small to charter an entire aircraft."

Available around the clock, the company's fully insured and trained couriers possess passports and visas for countries that are traditionally very difficult to access. The shipment is accompanied by one dedicated courier from pick up to personal delivery to recipient. The OBC Team manages all the details for the urgent shipment, from flight bookings to entry requirements and customs regulations, anywhere in the world. Customers are kept up-to-date with all movements through regular status reports and are notified immediately when the delivery has been made.

Commenting on the expansion of the service Carsten Volk, Global Product Manager for Chapman Freeborn OBC, says:

"With existing charter clients regularly asking for courier services it was a logical step to develop an OBC product to specifically address this market.

"While headquartered in Cologne, we are in constant communication with our couriers positioned around the world to ensure shipments are delivered safely - from the senders desk direct to the recipients hands. With high security standards, our service provides an excellent transport solution which will be of great comfort to our customers."
