Coordinate Providers & Stakeholders: Work closely with carriers, freight forwarders, customs agents, growers, packhouses, Fyffes sites, warehouses and receiving locations to keep shipments moving efficiently.

Control Costs & Documentation: Maintain accurate transport and commercial documentation, monitor costs against agreed rates and budgets, support customs requirements and identify practical opportunities to improve logistics processes and ways of working.
