CEO's Message

I take great pleasure in welcoming you to GSL. Allow me to give you some insight into how I see our business today and where, with your patronage, I want us to be in the future. In 1975, responding to the UAE's growing importance and aspirations, we started a shipping company called Global Shipping with the vision, even then, to be the best at what we do. Today, with a firm bedrock in the UAE, GSL supports brands and businesses like yours, from the far corners of the globe, who require ‘Best-In-Class’ Logistics and Supply-Chain services in this region. Key to our offering and the crown jewel of our operation, are our State-of-The-Art temperature-controlled warehouses, two of the most advanced facilities in the region.

We have built our business by being 100% aligned to our commitment of being ‘Driven by You‘. Looking forward, to maintain our position at the forefront of the logistics industry, we remain proactive in our thinking. To retain our competitive advantage, we not only remain at the leading edge of technological advances and best practices, but we also continually innovate and adopt Out-Of-The-Box thinking in everything we do. While many things will change, our Core Values will remain constant. These are instilled in every one of our employees, ensuring we stay focused on our goal of excellence in customer satisfaction.

"Let me draw an analogy to that of the hospitality industry, where the highest levels of customer satisfaction can sometimes be sacrificed in the drive for global consistency. It is often the specialist and 'Boutique' hotels which address the gap, readily adapting to the needs of their customers, to deliver excellence. Here, in the logistics industry, for organisations requiring the greatest flexibility of service and the highest level of quality and customer satisfaction, GSL is the answer." Our vision is to be the number 1 growth partner to businesses in the UAE and GCC. We will continue to be our clients' preferred 'Boutique' logistics organisation; the one which listens, learns, innovates and delivers on its promise.
