Silver Tiger Logistics Limited is a growing “boutique” freight specialist also with established offices in the USA and Benelux. Our core business revolves around the shipping needs of high net worth clients, motorsport teams and event organisers. We ship historic pre-war cars right through to modern day Formula 1 machines. We are highly respected in the business and are expected to offer a second to none seamless service. This ethos runs through the company and is the standard we expect all staff to aspire to.

You will experience all aspects of freight forwarding to/ from the EU and Worldwide to include road- freight, sea-freight, air-freight and event management. The role includes all general office up-keep, good housekeeping and other duties. There will be a strong emphasis on understanding HM Revenue & Customs import/ export procedures with a view to becoming autonomous Customs agents.
