March News Brief
Dear Friends,
For eight years, FJT Logistics New Zealand has been helping businesses navigate supply chain challenges, ensuring goods move efficiently, on time, and with full visibility.
Whether it’s freight forwarding, customs brokerage, or warehousing, our focus has always been on simplifying logistics for our customers so they can focus on growing their businesses.
FJT Logistics New Zealand:
Eight Years of Delivering to Our Customers
The logistics landscape in New Zealand has changed dramatically. The market has moved from just-in-time inventory models to supply chain resilience strategies, where visibility, flexibility, and control have become more critical than ever. Global disruptions, increased compliance, and rising costs have forced businesses to rethink logistics—not just as a function, but as a competitive advantage.
At FJT, we’ve seen this shift firsthand. Our customers are demanding greater predictability, smarter warehousing solutions, and stronger international connectivity. That’s why we’ve expanded our Auckland operations, invested in real-time tracking technology, and strengthened our partnerships across air, sea, and road freight to give businesses the control they need over their supply chains.

Lorenzo's 10-Year Journey:
From 19-Year-Old Newcomer to Leading Operations at FJT Logistics
Ten years ago, Lorenzo landed in Australia at just 19, stepping into a new country, a new role, and a completely different way of doing business. Fast forward a decade, and he’s now General Manager of Operations at FJT Logistics, shaping the company’s agility, culture, and growth.
But his journey hasn’t been without challenges.
“I came from the Italian branch, where I was focused on exports, but in Australia, everything revolved around imports—basically the opposite of what I knew. On top of that, adjusting to a new country and work environment wasn’t easy,” Lorenzo recalls. “I’m incredibly grateful to Alessandro for the opportunity and to my family for their support through it all.”
Building His Career—One Challenge at a Time
Lorenzo’s rise through FJT has been anything but ordinary. He didn’t just wait for opportunities—he stepped up wherever the company needed him.
“I always wanted to support different areas of the business, and that’s how I learned so much along the way. It wasn’t always easy, but those challenges helped shape who I am today.”
His hands-on approach and willingness to think beyond the job description have helped FJT maintain its agility in a fast-moving industry.
The FJT Difference—And His Role in It
One of the things that excites Lorenzo most about FJT is its ability to move quickly and efficiently, cutting through red tape where others get stuck.
“FJT isn’t just about moving freight—it’s about moving fast. I’ve always tried to follow the guidance I’ve been given while also bringing in new ideas to improve how we operate. If something needs to be done, we find a way to make it work.”
Seeing the company’s name grow in recognition is one of the proudest moments of his career so far.
“When people hear FJT and know who we are—it means the work we’ve all put in is paying off. That’s a great feeling.”
Leading at 29—Breaking Industry Norms
In an industry where leadership is often associated with decades of experience, Lorenzo has built credibility through action.
“For me, leadership isn’t about telling people what to do—it’s about working alongside them. I want my team to feel confident that we can make things happen, and I always lead with that mindset.”
What’s Next? The Future of FJT
As the logistics industry evolves, so does FJT—and Lorenzo is excited about what’s ahead.
“The market keeps changing, and we keep adapting. That’s what makes FJT special. I see myself continuing to support the company’s growth, ensuring we stay ahead of the game.”
From a young newcomer finding his way to a key player driving FJT forward, Lorenzo’s journey proves that success isn’t just about experience—it’s about mindset, determination, and seizing every opportunity that comes your way.
And after 10 years with FJT, this is just the beginning.
Regards,
Lorenzo Checcacci
