RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — J&T Express emerged as a double award winner at the International Finance Awards 2023. The global logistics provider secured the titles of ‘Best New Last Mile Delivery Company’ and ‘Most Innovative Express Delivery Service Provider’ in Saudi Arabia.
The program recognizes outstanding industry players who have achieved success internationally and in the Middle East region.

Previous year winners include the likes of Saudi Telecom Company (STC), Emirates NBD, Kuwait Aviation Services (KAS), Saudi Ground Services Company, Sahl Gulf Logistics Services Company, J&T Express – Philippines, Hitachi Transport System (M) Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) and more.
“We are honored to receive these awards that emphasize the fundamental role of innovation and technology in the logistics sector’s growth, especially in a rapidly growing market like Saudi Arabia, where it is projected to contribute 10% of GDP by 2030,” said Sean Xiao, the CEO of J&T Express, “Such industry recognition affirms our visible dedication to delivering exceptional services. Furthermore, this win underscores our relentless efforts to continuously push the boundaries of innovation.”
Commenting on the win, a spokesperson from International Finance Publications said, “We are delighted to acknowledge J&T Express as a pioneering force within the logistics sector, spanning air, land, sea, and road. In this category, J&T Express has been commended for its significant contributions to the regional economy, particularly its outstanding last-mile delivery services in Saudi Arabia. Noteworthy elements attributing to the company’s accomplishments encompass their dedication to inventive solutions, prioritization of customer satisfaction, and their leadership in promoting sustainability throughout the industry.”
J&T officially expanded its regional presence to establish hubs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in January 2022. Since then, it has achieved full coverage of all local provinces and regions in both countries.
In the Kingdom, the last mile-delivery service covers 100% of the kingdom. Supported by seven sorting centers, one of which is the largest the region has ever seen, 40 self-owned stations nationwide, and 3,000 personnel, all working in synergy to offer unparalleled services for its customers.
Globally and in the Middle East region, J&T invests in state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure. With swift operations, it ensures that its customers can experience reliable and secure deliveries.
J&T Express’s victory at the Finance Awards 2023 reflects its commitment to redefining last-mile delivery. The company’s innovative spirit has played a major role in propelling it to the forefront of the delivery industry in Saudi Arabia and around the region.
“While the e-commerce sector still faces challenges like last-mile delivery and customer service, the Saudi government’s focus on diversification and infrastructure development creates a promising environment for industry growth. As such, the industry, which is currently valued at USD 23.85 billion in 2023, is expected to grow to USD 32.97 billion by 2029. Enabling our clients and partners to be part of this growth is our priority. Through our passion for leveraging best in class industry practices, we will continue to deliver outstanding services to our customers. In reality, the success of our partners and clients is a direct reflection of our own success.” Added Xiao.

NewCo Capital Group Continues Global Expansion as 2024 Milestones Set The Stage for an Ambitious Q4
NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As Q4 fast approaches, NewCo Capital Group (“NewCo”) and Australia-based Bizcap are finalizing year-end initiatives to strategically position both companies for an ambitious expansion in 2025.
Both companies have celebrated a highly successful 2024, marked by remarkable and accelerated growth. This momentum has been driven by Bizcap’s unique Line of Credit product, NewCo’s introduction of their “Line of Capital” product and the launch of NewCo’s new mobile app. CEO Albert Gahfi emphasized the importance of closing 2024 on a high note to set the stage for future growth. “We’ve had an exceptional year so far, but our focus is on what comes next. We’re building the foundation for 2025 and beyond, ensuring that NewCo and Bizcap are positioned for continued global expansion.”
The plan for Q4 includes deepening their presence in existing markets while making calculated moves into new territories, including Singapore, Germany, and Luxembourg. “There are new opportunities in emerging markets that are currently underserved, where we believe we can make a significant impact. As a result, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for SMB financing globally.”
By reinforcing their operational and technological infrastructure, the companies are preparing to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving global financing landscape. “2024 has been a year of strong growth, but we’re not stopping here,” Gahfi said. “We are focused on delivering innovative financing solutions that not only meet the needs of today but also anticipate the demands of tomorrow. As we head into 2025, we’re ready to expand our reach and provide even more businesses with the capital they need.”
Part of a multinational collaboration, NewCo and Bizcap have successfully deployed over $1.5 billion to over 35,000 businesses worldwide. Gahfi commented, “We’re moving capital faster and more effectively than any other sector and our clients are benefiting from that growth.”
NewCo’s strength lies in its ability to adapt quickly, using a unique mix of proprietary technology, nuanced underwriting, and an experienced risk management team. The companies’ hybrid approach is challenging outdated financing models, making NewCo a preferred partner for SMBs looking for custom capital solutions that truly fit their needs.
“We’re not just growing; we’re leading,” Gahfi added. “As we expand globally, our goal remains the same—helping small businesses scale, create jobs, and thrive.”
With a clear strategy and a relentless focus on delivering value, NewCo Capital Group is primed to deepen its market influence and capitalize on emerging opportunities. As the company prepares for its next wave of market entries, Q4 will serve as a pivotal launchpad for an even more ambitious 2025, setting the stage for continued growth and global leadership.
