Colin Smith is Training & Career Development Manager at Metro and one of the governors of the Midlands Regional Group. \u201cThis is key to everyone new to freight forwarding. Putting yourself in the shoes of the customer before you actually meet them will give you an advantage right from the get-go. It will also give the customer added confidence that you will be the person they want to move their freight because you understand their business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are places still available for the event at The Botanist in Central Birmingham but they are going fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
