Metro has evolved continuously over the last four decades and Dave\u2019s journey with us over the last two and a half, mirrors many of Metro\u2019s evolutions, developments and innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dave\u2019s professional life began on the carrier side, with a container shipping line in Liverpool and Birmingham, building invaluable experience and knowledge of shipping line operational and financial management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joining Metro in 1996, Dave\u2019s unique insights into shipping line functioning was invaluable in refining the business\u2019 Far East Sea freight operations and commercial agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Sharing the knowledge\u2019 saw Dave take on an internal training role which, by popular request, evolved into external training of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dave\u2019s training skills were put to use again, in the future, when he spent five weeks training new \u2018Back Office\u2019 colleagues at our first BPO operation established in Malaysia, before aiding the successful roll out of the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spells away from Metro HQ, has been a feature for Dave, with customer secondments in the UK and Europe often lasting several months, as customers become reluctant to let their latest \u2018shipping resource\u2019 leave. One Christmas assignment for Dave didn\u2019t end until the following August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outsourcing is one of Metro\u2019s four key service pillars – together with forwarding, supply chain and technology – and Dave is a critical member of the team that deliver this highly specialised solution, to some of our biggest and most important manufacturers and exporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having recently led sea freight exports for one of our VIP accounts. Dave is now managing complex export and cross-trade supply chains for an entire OEM manufacturing base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to sharing his prodigious knowledge, Dave finds time to share his voice, as a choir member, musical cast member and in church celebrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
