Zambia

Message

At Hill & Delamain, I oversee air, sea and road freight operations and prepare and price tenders. My bids won contracts with ZESCO, ZAMTEL, CEC and WFP.

I find prospective clients by researching Zambia’s import and export data, and I price freight quotations and negotiate transporter rates. I also set up the company’s Instagram, X and LinkedIn pages and produce their content.

From December 2024 to March 2026, I served as Acting Branch Manager at the Lusaka Inland Clearing Depot, overseeing customs clearance, warehousing, finances and staff. I have a sociology degree from the University of Essex and am teaching myself Python and Swift.
