After an around ten week recruitment campaign, The Cooperative Logistics Network’s founding members began operations this week

The new network’s managing director Antonio Torres said, “1 December 2014 marks the beginning of The Cooperative. It was the day when all our members started contacting each other and began building the foundations of those important business relationships, which will be cemented when agents meet at our annual meeting in May next year.”

The founding members, located in more than 60 cities across more than 50 countries, together boast a total of over 5,000 employees and a sales turnover for 2013 in excess of EUR 550 million. Torres added, “cooperation simply won’t work if a network is overcrowded. This is why we will only allow a maximum of three agents per city, and five in the largest metropolises.”

The Cooperative Logistics Network launched with the promise to applicants of a six-month free trial in exchange for registering attendance at its first annual meeting next May. According to the network, hundreds of applications are being received weekly.

Founder, Antonio Torres, explained, “Attendance at the first annual meeting is the best way for agents to kick-start their membership. From our experience in the networking industry, we have found that attendance at annual meetings is crucial to ensuring any members’ success; it’s a proven fact that members who attend increase their business.”

Torres continued, “Agents work with people they have formed relationships with – this is true of any industry. I believe that the best freight forwarders understand the importance of meeting in person and so those applicants who say no to attending do not have a genuine interest in developing a worldwide network of agents and, therefore, are not for us.”

The Coop team has been studying and whittling down the number of applicants to a block of 100 founding members which will be unveiled when the network has its operational launch on December 1, 2014.
