This episode, I’m joined by Amanda Bradfield, Head of International Freight & Logistics at FTA.

Amanda has spent nearly three decades in freight forwarding and global trade, and brings a sharp, no-nonsense view of what’s really happening across shipping, ports, and supply chains right now.

We cover:

• How Amanda fell into logistics at 17 and never looked back

• What actually changed in shipping post-COVID

• Port congestion, blank sailings, and who really wears the cost

• Shipping lines vs freight forwarders and why relationships matter

• Suez Canal disruption, vessel oversupply, and what’s ahead

• Why logistics is an underrated career path for the next generation

If you work in freight, logistics, supply chain, or global trade, this one’s for you.
