Commenting ahead of news about whether there will be a Queen’s Speech and start of Brexit negotiations next Monday, British International Freight Association (BIFA) director general, Robert Keen says:
The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has confirmed the appointment of Pawel Jarza as policy and compliance advisor with responsibility for issues concerning Customs.
Birmingham, UK, Thursday, 6th April 2017 – Nobody really knows what the Brexit implications are for trade, Robert Keen, Director General, BIFA, told delegates at the Brexit Briefing at Multimodal 2017. And he brought along a crystal ball to emphasise the point.
On the day that UK Prime Minister, Theresa May invokes Article 50 and begin negotiations for Britain’s exit from the European Union, the trade body that represents the UK’s freight forwarding companies says it is still too soon to make speculative statements with so many unknowns.
Once again, BIFA – the British International Freight Association – will be exhibiting at the forthcoming Multimodal 2017 exhibition and conference and will use the event to outline some of the work it is doing on behalf of its members that are facing significant challenges to the provision of freight and logistics services for international trade.
In just over a month, the UK and Ireland’s premier freight transport, logistics and supply chain management event, Multimodal opens its doors.
The British International Freight Association (BIFA) Board and Council recently approved the promotion of Robert Windsor and Spencer Stevenson to Directors of BIFA.
The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has announced that Rachel Morley has joined its Board of Directors, replacing Carson McMullan who has stepped down having been on the Board since 2009.
