Behind every shipment departing or entering the Port of Savannah, one of the busiest on the East Coast, is a freight forwarder – made up of the people who guide products from manufacturer to consumer across oceans and land, contracting with railroads, trucks and ships along the way, handling the international red tape of customs and answering for late shipments. International logistics is an inherently stressful profession with business hours including all 24, every day. A freight forwarder winning great-place-to-work accolades? Not likely.

Yet that’s what Page International has done, and they’ve accomplished it amid the additional fog of rapid growth. Founded in 1994 by Chairman and CEO Roy Page, the company has grown from three employees to 60 and now includes offices in Savannah and Atlanta. Beyond a stellar benefits package for employees, Roy Page and President and COO Patrick Page emphasize personal connection and staff support. “Team of the Quarter” recognition encourages the collaboration vital to success in a fast-paced, high-energy business.

“From celebrating birthdays and work anniversaries to just walking around the office daily to say hello, and even supporting employees going through personal challenges, Roy and Patrick are constantly striving to make Page International the best workplace it can be,” says Office Administrator Allison Allmond. “The best place to work is the place where coming to work feels like coming home, and that’s how Page International employees feel every day.”
