Mohamad Zuki Wan Abdullah says his greatest motivation comes from his colleagues, staff and family. “Sometimes when I go home tired and stressed, my family is my source of inspiration to move forward,” he says.
Zuki is CEO of FGV Transport Services, a total logistics service provider serving both internal and external companies with domestic and international transportation requirements. Established in 1975, the business was initially under the name of Perbadanan Angkut Felda, a subsidiary of Felda Group of companies. The company, now a subsidiary of public-listed FGV Holdings Berhad, was originally started to provide transportation services for the Group and has since grown and expanded.
“When the business was set up, it only had a few trucks. We have now grown to become one of the largest land transport companies in Malaysia,” Zuki says. “We have close to 500 trucks with more than 12 locations all over Malaysia, and nearly 600 staff.”
While the company is primarily focused on providing logistics services for palm oil and palm oil products for the Group, FGV Transport Services also provides logistics solutions to cater to oil and gas, infrastructure, government, defence, telecommunications and energy industries.
“My plan is for FGV Transport Services to provide the total logistics solution for internal companies as well as external business in various growth segments,” Zuki says.
In September 2019, Zuki celebrated his 29th anniversary with FGV Group. His early roles included assignments in operations and engineering projects before being appointed CEO of various business such as refinery, oleochemical and bulking. In July 2019, he was appointed CEO of FGV Transport Services.
