BARRINGTON FREIGHT ARE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT “APPRENTICE”

Matt Everard of Barrington Freight has started an unusual search for staff adopting the style of the reality television programme “The Apprentice” featuring famous business tycoon Sir Alan Sugar.

Managing Director Matt Everard is an avid watcher of the BBC programme having watched all of the previous series. The programme takes sixteen hopeful candidates from all walks of life, splits them into two teams and sets weekly entrepreneurial tasks. Each week at least one candidate is chosen by Sir Alan Sugar to face their failings and leave the programme, but not before hearing his catchphrase of “You’re Fired!”

“I was watching the programme on Wednesday evening and the inspiration for my new recruitment drive came to me. Our company is growing at an amazing rate so we need good staff to fill key positions” said Everard. “Hopefully I will be able to say “You’re hired!” to someone soon”.

Barrington Freight have created an “Apprentice” page on their website (http://www.barringtonfreight.com/apprentice/) asking for apprentice candidates to apply for a position to work alongside managing director Matt Everard.

Barrington Freight are based in Wickford Essex. The company arranges international transport for many businesses all over the UK and ships cargo to and from Europe, China and the USA. According to the details on the Barrington Freight website, the successful candidate will have “freight industry experience, initiative and entrepreneurial resourcefulness”.

Donkeys ? - not us !

Last month our seafreight department handled a shipment of personal effects from Manila in the Philippines.

The shipment was arriving at Southampton by sea freight and needed to have transhipment customs documents prepared so it could be on-forwarded by road and ferry to St Martin in Guernsey.

Guernsey people are traditionally nicknamed donkeys or ânes, especially by Jersey people (who in turn are nicknamed crapauds - toads).

Our agents in Southampton raised the Customs paperwork, the shipment was collected from the sea container and sent via road and ferry to our agent in Guernsey.

On arrival at Guernsey customs clearance and delivery were arranged for the consignee. We certainly proved that we aren't donkeys !
