Peter Whitfield
is an industry veteran with over 50 years’ experience in the airfreight wholesale & consolidation business in Asia Pacific & Americas.
Peter Whitfield, Chairman of Neutral Air Partner network knows that “anyone who wants to expand their global reach within the transport industry today, joins a logistics network, but often many of these are not as useful as they could be on account of their very general approach. In addition the member’s industry experience, business specialization, and financial situation is not always assessed either.”
Peter believes that : “the airfreight segment needs a platform of exclusive and advanced air cargo experts and suppliers. It needs collaborative tools and innovative IT solutions together with the right mechanisms for financial protection.“
