Focus on your business
I'll take care of the logistics.
From supplier coordination to final delivery, I act as your single operational point of contact — one person holding together the suppliers, carriers and paperwork that nobody in a small team has time to chase.

The right carrier, route and rate for each individual shipment.
Shipment coordination

A practical operating layer between your suppliers, freight partners and internal team.

Freight expertise
The right mode for every shipment.
I am not tied to one carrier or one solution. Every route is evaluated according to cost, timing, reliability and your commercial priorities.
Ocean freight
FCL and LCL planning, rate sourcing, carrier selection and booking management.
Air freight
Time-critical and high-value cargo with tailored routing and cost control.
Road freight
European FTL and LTL solutions, first-mile and final-mile coordination.
Multimodal
Integrated solutions built around the shipment rather than the transport mode.
Trade lanes
Global reach.
Local expertise.
My strongest lane is Europe to Australia, supported by direct operational experience in both markets. I also manage shipments to and from the United States, the Middle East and other international destinations.

Working together
Three levels of involvement.
How much of the function you hand over is up to you. Scope and commercial terms are agreed in writing before any work starts.
Is this you?
The businesses I work with rarely look alike. What they share is a shape, not a sector.
- You buy from many suppliers abroad, not one
- The goods are valuable, fragile or awkward to move
- Nobody in the company does logistics full time
- The owner still ends up chasing shipments personally
Furniture and design importers are where I have worked longest, but the pattern repeats in wine and food, lighting, stone and ceramics, fashion, and machinery parts. If three of the four lines above describe you, we should talk.
Supply chain audit
For importers who suspect they are overpaying across a spread of suppliers, but cannot prove it.
- Review of current freight costs, routes and forwarders
- Rates benchmarked against the market
- Written report with prioritised actions
Scope One-off engagement, fixed duration
Shipment management
For small teams handling too many suppliers with nobody assigned to logistics.
- Freight procurement and booking on your behalf
- Supplier follow-up and readiness checks
- Export documentation and customs coordination
Scope Ongoing, agreed shipment volume
Full outsourcing
For owners who want inbound freight off their desk entirely.
- Everything in shipment management
- Single point of contact for suppliers and carriers
- Cost reporting and continuous improvement
Scope Ongoing, the full logistics function
How it is billed
Three ways to structure the fee. We pick the one that fits your volume and how predictable it is — and it is fixed in writing before the first shipment.
- Monthly retainerSteady volumes, continuous support.
- Percentage of freight spendFees move with your shipping activity.
- Hourly rateOccasional needs and one-off projects.
