I began at Peters & May in February 2024, joining the customs team as a Customs Administrator. It has been a good introduction to the industry for me as there is a lot of variety in the workload, I’ve been exposed to a lot of different areas of the industry and there are many different career paths available to me in the future.

I was attracted to a career in freight & shipping because I find it fascinating how it relates to every other industry around the world. I also enjoy the problem-solving aspect and being a part of a cohesive team.

Before starting at Peters & May, I completed the ‘Freight Development Pathway’. This was a 2-week introductory course, including training with BIFA, which helped me build on skills relevant to the industry and introduced me to some terminology and processes.
