Saudi Arabia’s growing population and its strong economy are accelerating the growth of the local delivery services sector, says TNT SAB Express.

TNT SAB Express, one of the kingdom’s leading express freight companies and the local arm of express delivery services multi-national TNT Express, is leveraging positive market conditions by expanding the scope of its activities and services, while also increasing headcount and transferring its main branch in Jeddah to new executive offices, the company said.

The company had recently announced a 30 per cent increase in revenues for the first half of 2010 over the same period last year and has introduced two additional retail outlets in Jeddah, located in the historic area of Al-Balad and Prince Majed Street.

“Saudi imports have grown significantly over the past few years and have catapulted the country ahead of other leading Middle Eastern countries in the logistics field. Our strong performance for the first half of this year especially reflects the growing opportunities in the kingdom’s delivery services sector, and we are adopting fresh strategies to become even more visible in this growth market. Our move to new offices will further enhance our image and leverage the strong global patronage enjoyed by the TNT brand,” said Martyn Wright, managing director, TNT SAB Express Saudi Arabia. – TradeArabia News Service
