Jamie’s career in freight forwarding spans more than four decades, marked by dedication, versatility, and steady progression from an Office Junior to his current role as Managing Director and Shareholder of Flexitrans — a dynamic and forwardthinking freight handling service provider. Starting his career at just Sixteen, Jamie quickly developed a strong foundation in shipping operations, liaising with agents, HM Customs, and dock officials, and gaining handson experience across all areas of ship agency work. His early exposure to vessel operations and client interaction built the professionalism and eye for detail that continue to define his leadership style today.
By the age of seventeen, Jamie had moved into European and Scandinavian forwarding and customs clearance. Effectively acting in a supervisory capacity, he demonstrated early leadership and commercial aptitude, supporting senior management and developing a keen understanding of logistics operations and customer service excellence. A subsequent move to a project forwarding company in Felixstowe further expanded his experience. Working as PA to the Managing Director, Jamie played a key role in complex logistics projects within the North Sea oil industry — coordinating shipments ranging from small components to 40metre, 200tonne industrial reactors, transported by road, sea, and air. This period honed his ability to manage precision-led, high-value movements under exacting conditions. Jamie later took responsibility for managing European trailer operations, overseeing national and international route planning, export reloading, and the coordination of sales, finance, and subcontracted haulage services. His leadership in this area helped build a network of reliable
transport partners covering groupage, part loads, full loads, and abnormal transports across Europe. As Managing Director of Flexitrans, Jamie now leads a skilled and motivated team with a focus on service excellence, reliability, and longterm client relationships. His extensive operational background
and hands-on experience across all sectors of the industry continue to guide the company’s vision and strategic growth. May 2026 marks the 21st anniversary of Flexitrans, a milestone that reflects both the company’s success and Jamie’s unwavering commitment to its continued development and innovation within the
freight forwarding industry.
Ed has over 23 years experience in all aspects of deep sea forwarding having worked with several worldwide container lines, and it is his role to market and develop the deep sea services at Flexitrans Ltd to compliment their European road transport operations.
In September 2001 Ed first passed the Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors exam, and is qualified to advise on safety matters for hazardous cargo for storage and movement by road transport. This had added a new dimension to the services that can be offered by Flexitrans.
Ed also holds a CPC in road transport operations.
James began his career at 17 as an apprentice stock controller in a local warehouse, before progressing to an operations assistant role. In 2021, James transitioned into the European freight forwarding industry, joining a fast paced and growing European Road Freight team, building hands-on experience across a wide range of shipments. Since joining Flexitrans in 2024, James has developed a strong understanding of European freight operations and customs requirements to manage cross-border requirements. With a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach, he supports the delivery of efficient, reliable transport solutions across Europe.
Having recently joined Flexitrans to work in the Ocean Freight Department, I bring with me experience from my previous role as a Traffic Planner and Customer Services Operator at a leading haulage firm based in Felixstowe. There, I handled a wide range of customer service tasks, including booking deliveries, liaising with clients regarding delays, managing customs-related issues, and processing clearances. Prior to my logistics career, I was involved in the sports industry. After earning a degree in Sports Studies, I worked for Ipswich Town FC, coaching football in local schools and holiday camps. I continue to provide one-to-one football coaching sessions on weekends, building my client base through word of mouth and personal reputation.
