Main Skills:

Responsible for the long term operations based at or working from the port.

My Journey:

Started my career as an apprentice working for my dads plastering company, I discovered that I preferred to be in a warm, dry environment as opposed to the elements, so moved to IT and Software. My employer managed the verification process for companies looking to work on large infrastructure or sensitive critical projects, which is where I built up my connections that have lead me to heading up the sales for the South East cluster at Peel Ports.

Working Environment:

I live in Cambridge and have an office based in the Port of Great Yarmouth and the Port of Sheerness, meaning I am roughly in-between the 2 sites. I tend to spend a few days at Great Yarmouth and then, in the following week, a few days in Sheerness but projects do tend to dictate where the majority of my time will be spent. Although the Port of Great Yarmouth is best known for offshore, we do have other general cargos through the port, as well as project cargo which tends to be out of gauge or heavy lifts. Every day is different and lucky enough to have a great team. Genuinely love my job.

Duties:

Client engagement. Land and property. Commercial negotiation. Group engagement. Responsible for the sales teams in the South East.
