It became apparent through client dealings that there is a lack of professional Logistics service providers through Africa, MFR African Logistics CC launched aiming to provide such a service. Managed by Fred Magor with the strong support of family and an extensive network of professional relationships with stakeholders in a variety of fields, allowing MFR to call on the skills of specialists as and when this is required.

As an Africa business, MFR AFRICAN LOGISTICS is committed to offering a professional service in the mining industry throughout Africa.

Our Mission, Vision and Values are simple – we strive to work with “like minded” people, where we are a partner in the process and not a service provider. This puts us in a place where we can trust each other and share in the experience, maximizing our entrepreneurial skills for the benefit of our clients. We will continuously strive to improve and evolve to be able to best serve our clients ever changing needs.

We believe that offering a professional service that is reliable and committed means that we are an extension of our clients own services. We work to a common goal with clients, where we both benefit on service delivery.

The strength of a family is like the strength of an army,
in its loyalty to each other …Mario Puzo.

We draw on the specialist services listed, which are provided by dedicated partners of MFR. Where we do not have a specialist service available, we draw on the expertise of external consultants with whom we have long standing relationships.

As a Africa business MFR is committed to sharing knowledge and empowering people that we work with. While we are a newly developed business, we believe that continued commitment to leaving a legacy is essential for any business to survive long term. We try to select ‘business partners’ that we choose to work with; work for; and employ. We are willing to commit to a long standing relationships by promoting the following philosophies:

We are not limited by insecurities that training and knowledge-sharing may be creating competition in imparting knowledge and experience to young trainees. Instead, we regard this as an opportunity for others and ourselves to benefit by forming an ever growing support structure for the industry. By this continued practice, we believe that we assist many persons and organizations in a manner that is sustainable for future ventures.
