Internationally CPC qualified in 1991, I started my working life on export paperwork completion in a buoyant Irish meat and by products industry. On relocating to UK mainland I was fortunate to obtain administrative work in International Banking albeit agency. This saw me winning an opportunity to work for a Global Trading company on the procurement and sale of foods and wines in a logistics manner adhering to any licence and country regulations. In 2003 I moved into the Freight Forwarder side of global movements and have continued this ever since building an in depth knowledge of commodities and trade lanes on both Imports/ Exports and Cross Trades. Methods of shipments have included hand carry, air, road, rail, OOG, RORO , tanker and sea freight from small shipments to whole vessel chartering incl stevedoring services. I have personally overseen commodities to include : agricultural, chemicals, foods and drinks, healthcare incl pharma, machinery, MOD, automotive, retail, bespoke projects, timber, steel. This has been in the form of procurement, shipping provision, customs processing to warehouse / ships store or door delivery from bespoke shipments to key client management. Experience of all these types of goods means I am upto date with global trade and customs and regulatory requirements and I welcome any other horizons with a great deal of foresight.
