Charles Kendall Freight staff in our Hong Kong and Shanghai offices are preparing for the Spring Festival celebrations that go into full force later this month for the Lunar New Year which ushers in the Year of the Tiger.  Hong Kong and Shanghai will hold markets, such as the Flower Market, New Year Parades and of course Fireworks, such as those held in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour.  Completed in time for the celebrations, our new branding has made a great impression, especially in Hong Kong where our branded truck can be spotted on downtown streets.
