These consignments have a<br/>validated cold chain life of between 96 and<br/>120 hours. Due to the distances involved<br/>and the vagaries of local customs<br/>practices, firm management and control of<br/>the consignments is imperative.<br/>During the preceding four years we have<br/>seen our volumes grow year on year by<br/>the order of 12.5%.
