When did you begin working in the industry?
I began my career 18 years ago as an office junior and gradually transitioned into import operations, specialising in less-than-container load (LCL) services for China. I also spent two years in Hong Kong, gaining invaluable international experience. This part of my career shaped my people skills and instilled in me a strong commitment to customer service.
What do you enjoy most about working in the industry?
I love the daily variation in the industry. In sales, no two days are the same – whether I’m providing good customer service or liaising with the ops team. This dynamic environment keeps me engaged and constantly learning, making each day an exciting challenge. I also love working with people, meeting new people, and making professional connections.
What would you say your area of expertise is?
I have a strong background in international logistics, gaining hands-on experience in Honk Kong. During this time, I gained insights into global trade and different ways of working. Additionally, I excel at navigating complex supply chain processes, coordinating shipments, and ensuring smooth communication between all involved parties, regardless of time zones. My ability to adapt to the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of the industry is also one of my key strengths.
How do you spend your time out of the office?
Outside of the office, I enjoy watching and playing football and rugby, particularly rugby union, though it hasn’t been as fun lately. Growing up, I was a supporter of the Saracens. I am also an Arsenal supporter and love watching from a kid. I’m a family man too and spending quality time with my partner Beth and our two-year-old daughter, Freya. Balancing work and family life is important to me and I cherish the moments we share.
