What I'm looking for

I am seeking operational logistics or customs roles where I can apply my clearing, freight negotiation and procurement skills, with opportunities for responsibility and process improvement.

I am an experienced logistics and customs specialist with a Diploma in Clearing and Forwarding and a certificate in Computer Operations. Over two decades I have progressed from port clerk to roles such as Clearing Superintendent, Logistics/Customs Supervisor and Customs Imports Specialist.

My career highlights include in‑house clearing for major agricultural exporters, supervising branch staff, handling import/export documentation, computerized customs declarations, rate negotiations and procurement responsibilities. I have experience liaising with shipping lines, airlines, banks, suppliers, clearing agents and government agencies.

I bring practical, results‑oriented skills in customs compliance, freight bookings (sea/air/road), tracking goods in transit and team supervision, and I look to apply my operational knowledge in challenging logistics, procurement or customs roles.
