Paul Everley

UK General Manager

I have experienced many facets of the logistics supply chain, working previously for a Shipping Line and UK Port Terminal. My experience gained in both operational environments has provided a strong foundation to supplement my current role as UK Forwarding Manager. I first joined Peters & May as the Group’s Business Analyst in 2008, which has given me a great insight into the company as a whole. Later, in 2015, I was promoted to UK General Manager responsible for both the Forwarding and Marine departments, before solely focusing on developing UK Forwarding in 2020 as the Company Management team was restructured. Our main focus in the Forwarding team is developing our relationships with our customers and maintaining our extremely high standards for customer service. My favourite part about working for Peters and May is the satisfaction of receiving feedback from clients that recognise the standard of service that Peters & May provide and sharing this with those in the team that were involved.

Nicky Bull

Business Development Manager

I started life as a freight forwarder 18 years ago and have experience in all transport modes for both imports and exports. I started at Peters and May in 2018 in a sea freight export role, during which time I have developed strong relationships with many of our key clients. My current role as Business Development Manager allows me to focus on customer relationships and identifying new business opportunities. I have a particular interest in larger project cargo and am developing that side of our business.

 

My favourite part about working for Peters and May is the way that no day is ever the same, and having the chance to work closely with customers to improve and develop their businesses.

Pat Gibbs

Operations Manager - Air & Road

My area of specialty is airfreight exports which I have been arranging for nearly 40 years, but I am also experienced in road freight movements and all documentation requirements. I started my career with a large forwarder at Heathrow but moved to Southampton about 20 years ago and have worked with Peters and May for just under 10years now. During my career I have shipped all sorts of general cargo, hanging garments and urgent time sensitive yacht spares and laboratory equipment.

 

My Favourite part about working for Peters and May is the people – customers, suppliers and colleagues!

Johanna Jacks

Operations Manager – Imports & Sea Freight

I have been working in logistics for over 10 years, specialising in sea freight imports. Since joining Peters & May, I have gained more valuable experience in that area but also expanded my skill set to include air and road transport. In my current role I am managing our sea freight and air import operations teams. I have gained a huge amount of experience in customs in the last few years and have helped our team make a smooth transition to CDS, the new customs system.

 

My favourite part about working for Peters and May is that it allows me to use my problem solving skills on a daily basis; I like finding innovative solutions for our customers!
