His main role as an air cargo charter broker is to match the needs of shippers with the capabilities of the air cargo carrier to ensure that the goods are transported safely, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost.

Most of all, Taz has a passion for out of gauge charters, which always require meticulous planning to ensure all goes to plan.

Aviation doesn’t stop at his career – the industry has always played a large role in his life, with aviation pedigree reaching back to his father and grandfather’s generations. His grandad accomplished multiple missions in the Falklands as an aerial surveillance officer in the RAF, his father also works in commercial aviation.
Taz has charted many air cargo shipments over his career but his favourite was his first Boeing 747 charter from Miami down to Panama, which is also his most loved aircraft, closely followed by the Ilyushin IL-76.
