7. A friendly, experienced team who value quality and customer care

The role:
You'll be involved in handling a variety of shipments across air, ocean, and road freight, depending on your experience. If you've specialised in just one mode so far, that's absolutely fine - the team is open to training the right person into a multimodal role.

Experience Required:

1. Experience in freight forwarding (air, ocean, or road)
