The London Freight Club first dates back to 1952/53 when a group of executives of the Canada Steamship Company, Canadian National & Canadian Pacific companies decided it would be a good idea to form a club for executives within the liner industry.
The LFC is growing into a well known vehicle for members of the shipping and freight industry to network within a pleasant social atmosphere. Choosing to stay focused on the good of the industry and its membership, the LFC offers a forum for its members to share the wisdom of hundreds of years collectively in the freight industry.
I am a Founder, Shareholder and Director of Atlantic Pacific Group Ltd, which comprises of Atlantic Pacific Global Logistics, Killick Martin & Company, Port Express, and Freedom Logistics. I started work at 15 years old and have nearly 50 years’ experience in the UK logistics industry having worked for importers, exporters, freight forwarders, NVOCC’s and shipping lines. I have also worked internationally in Cyprus, Australia and New Zealand.
I was the first women to become a member of the London Freight Club 10 years ago and became Vice Chairman of the Club in February 2022. I’m a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics, a member of Women in Transport, an Ambassador for Every Women, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. I’m also Chairwomen of Atlantic Pacific Group’s charitable foundation ‘Unity In Community’.
I support several community organisations and charities. During 2021 I led on Atlantic Pacific’s logistics partnership with ‘Gratitude’ a national touring arts exhibition celebrating the heroes of the Covid epidemic raising funds for NHS Charities Together, and in 2022 whilst Vice Chairman of the London Freight Club led on its appeal for the British Red Cross in Ukraine raising £13,000. I’m is also a Trustee of the Lady McAddan Breast Cancer Trust.
I am immensely proud to become Chairman of the London Freight Club in its 70th Anniversary year. As the first women to hold this position I’m looking forward to encouraging many more women to join the Club, and to raise the profile of women in general within the logistics industry.
