Specialised in ISO tanks for Gas and Liquid, Exhibition shipments and Food products. Worked with major Vessel operator, NVOOC, MLO and Freight forwarding companies.
The recruiters need to consider forwarding/ Logistics sales guys for the Logistics coordinator/Manager positions. Being in sales they will have enough experience in handling multiple cargos and issues related to it’s movement globally. So for them it’s an easy task to handle a single product / imp n exp procedure for a single HS code. It’s my simple opinion. #logistics #recruiters

For those in logistics looking for their next role, it's important to vet potential employers. As you measure your own value, consider what value you can bring to clients. A recent experience reminded me of this. A brokerage reached out to me for a sales role, expressing interest in my active book of business. While this is a common request in tough times, I had to ask about their carrier network and capacity. Their response was lackluster - they rely heavily on load board platforms to cover shipments. While I've found great carriers through these platforms, I can't risk my relationships with clients due to a lack of true carrier partnerships. Remember, carriers matter just as much as shippers. As you navigate the job market, don't forget to ask the important questions and evaluate potential employers carefully. #logistics

In the recruiting space, it is crucial to level set the expectations of the candidates and clients before an offer is accepted and the candidates start. The expectations should be crystal clear from both sides in order to hit the ground running and be set up for success. #recruiting #logistics #3PL #freight #sales

Scaling hyper growth brands. Global E2E Talent Solutions. Connecting Founder & VC led brands with talent in an authentic way, creating value add partnerships built on trust 🚀 #D2C #ecommerce #startup #scaleup
🛑 STOP RIGHT NOW 🛑 2 months ago I had a msg from a Founder who was desperate to hire a Logistics Director - he had a budget of £110k (+ my fee of 17.5% = £129,250). His 'in house' operation was creaking at the seams & they were getting lots of issues with deliveries, out of stocks, wrong items, imports / shipping etc He felt that a Logistics Director would "sort it out". The business t/o is c£24m and current h/c is 32. 🛑 IMO he did not need a Logistics Director! So I turned down the £110k salaried role & suggested he actually need a 'Head of Logistics' who would cost around £75k. This would be a sensible hire, who would be more "hands on" within the operation & would set up new E2E supply chain processes, to enhance their CX. Fast forward 2 months & the candidate is now in week 3. The founder msg me yesterday to thank me - his exact words were "Daniel is a great fit for us, so down to earth & just getting shit done" ****takes a bow 🙇♂️ 🤑 Total saving = £42,300 If you are worried about your operation & need advice on how to improve your E2E Supplychain - drop me a msg today! #supplychain #logistics #operations #ecommerce #dtc #d2c Brookwood Recruitment Ltd Inco Talent
