Javier Gonzalez, Sales Director for US SE, Latin America and the Caribbean, said, “It was a great opportunity to introduce Network Cargo to carriers as a GSA in the Dominican Republic and promote our connectivity from the island to Europe and Latin America, as well as highlight Avianca’s commitment to creating a cargo hub in the country.

“We are confident we will exceed all Avianca’s expectations. With their recent announcement to expand operations in the Caribbean, Network Cargo will continue to work closely to help them achieve their goals. This includes a freight operation, which will commence in August.”

On 25th June, 2018, Ben Cashen, Operations, and Daniel Ellis, Customer Service, at our UK headquarters in Crawley, West Sussex, UK, will be fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support by embarking on a golfing challenge to play 72 holes in just 1 day.

Ben says, “We’ll be teeing off at 04:30 and expect the final putts to take place at around 21:30, so around 17 hours of golf, 20 miles of walking and 300 strokes from start to finish. No golf buggies are allowed, so for any golf enthusiast this is the ultimate test.”

Hever Castle Golf Club in Kent has kindly donated the use of the course for the day, which has saved £400 in green fees, so every penny donated goes straight to Macmillan.

Dan adds, “We are hoping to raise upwards of £1,500. The Longest Day Golf Challenge is a great way to support a really worthwhile cause and raise money for people affected by cancer.”
