Matthew Kearns, GWC’s Acting Group CEO, said: “This recognition further strengthens the company’s track record of outstanding achievements, driving us to continue pursuing greater success, enhancing our performance and services for clients, and fostering stronger collaborative relationships with both the public and private sectors. We are grateful for the ongoing support of the General Authority of Customs and its commitment to advancing Qatar’s rapidly growing logistics sector.”
