National transport and logistics company, Gold Tiger Logistics Solutions, has announced it will be ceasing operations.
After two decades of sustained growth and operational leadership, Gold Tiger founder and Managing Director, Imad El Masri, has made the decision to close the company and step away from the transport industry to focus on his health, wellbeing and family.
As part of this transition, all of Gold Tiger’s fleet and equipment will be sold.
El Masri made the announcement in a statement online, explaining it is one of the hardest decisions he’s ever needed to make.
“Gold Tiger has truly been my baby,” he said.
“But building and running a business at this scale for so long comes with sacrifices.
“The long hours, the pressure and the responsibility have taken a toll on my health and wellbeing over time. Eventually I had to be honest with myself about what matters most.
“My family has supported me through everything – and now it’s my turn to be present for them.”
El Masri established Gold Tiger in 2006 at the age of 19.
With just one truck and his determination, he grew Gold Tiger into a national logistics business which now moves more than 250,000 tonnes of freight annually.
Under El Masri’s leadership, Gold Tiger built longstanding relationships across many industries with a focus on quality service, strong partnerships and accountability.
“Gold Tiger has been my life’s work for 20 years,” he said.
“Walking away is not easy. I feel proud, grateful and emotional all at the same time. But I also feel confident that it’s the right decision for this stage of my life.
“I want to thank every employee, customer, supplier and partner who has been part of this journey. You helped build something special.
El Masri will now focus on property development projects which he has been involved in alongside the business in recent years.
“This isn’t the end for me – just the start of a new chapter,” he said.
“I’m proud of what we built. Now it’s time to focus on what matters most.”
