Other recent accolades garnered by Imperial Logistics’ African Regions division include a “Distributor of the Year” award for its pharmaceutical distributor business in Kenya. Truter expands: “Surgipharm has been honoured as ‘Distributor of the Year in Anglophone Africa’ by global health and hygiene company, Essity. This award recognises Surgipharm’s outstanding distribution performance for Essity, including growing market share for our client’s medical solutions range and capturing competitor market share,” he explains.
In another achievement in East Africa, the Kenya Revenue Authority has presented Imperial Logistics’ Managed Solutions business with a top taxpayer’s award. “This annual award recognises businesses for exemplary tax compliance.
