NZ Staff CVs & Specialities
Auckland office service region
Auckland office services the main part of the Island covering the ports of Auckland, Whangarei
and Tauranga as well as the city of Hamilton
Many of our principals choose to have jobs coordinated from Auckland even though the claim source
might be in Wellington or in the South Island.
It is frequently the case that head offices of forwarders, airlines and shipping companies/agents
are in the Auckland region - our local knowledge can thus be of great benefit.
Specialties include electronics and machinery.
