SUMMARY:BIFA YFN - Anglia Region - Failing Forward\, Lessons for Success
DESCRIPTION:Failing Forward\, Lessons for Success \nThe next BIFA YFN Anglia region event will take place on Wednesday 21st May\, 1515\, at Suffolk New College in Ipswich\, when our guest speaker will be Jon Swallow\, founder and chief executive of Jordan Freight. \nJon\, who is an employer governor of the Young Forwarder Network\, left school at 16 and bailing on college\, started a Youth Training Scheme as a dock runner\, then tried customs\, seafreight and finally settled in European transport… or so he thought. Sometimes your career goals just don’t materialise. \nIn 1999 Jon started Jordon Freight with his business partner Roddy.  Despite a very difficult start and subsequent near catastrophes\, the company is now in its 25th year and continues to grow. \nDuring the event\, Jon will explain how the setbacks he faced were not failures as they appeared at the time\, but looking back\, vital lessons for success in disguise. And now\, faced with the continual challenges of a growing company\, he reframes failure and setbacks much quicker as something positive. \nIf sometimes you don’t feel confident to go after what you want for fear of failure or have failed hard in the past and felt its effects long after\, Jon hopes to offer some insights on how to position failure not as a final event\, but as the path to success. By staying in the game\, you are sure to win! \nRegister now\, don’t miss out on this unique networking event\, we hope to see you there! \n  \nAgenda: \n1515    Arrival & registration \n1545    Welcome and YFN Overview \n1550    Networking \n1600    Presentation from guest speaker\, Jon Swallow \n1630    Q&A \n1645    BIFA Update \n1700    Networking \n1730    Close \n  \nDrinks will be available at the college.

SUMMARY:BIFA Virtual YFN - An introduction to the use of ATA Carnets
DESCRIPTION:The first virtual YFN of 2025 will be held on the 22nd of January\, starting at 1530. \nWe’ll be joined by Kiel Ursin\, ATA Carnet Specialist and Curt Wilson\, Managing Director\, Boomerang Carnets UK \nDuring this presentation\, Kiel and Curt will look at the uses of carnets\, their benefits\, how they should be handled and controlled\, what can go wrong and how to deal with issues. \nA Carnet or ATA Carnet is a temporary passport for goods.  It is used to clear customs in 90 countries without paying duty and import tax on goods that will be re-exported within 12 months.  In the U.K. there are two types of carnets issued: ATA and EC/CPD/China-Taiwan carnets.  ATA Carnets are used for the 90 countries that are members of the carnet scheme. EC/CPD/China-Taiwan carnets are used for temporary exports to Taiwan which only accepts the EC/CPD/China-Taiwan carnet.  Most goods can be listed on a Carnet. The carnet can be used multiple times and in multiple countries during the period of validity. ATA Carnet use facilitates expansion into new markets and can jump start an export program within a company or by an individual. Freight cleared through customs with an ATA Carnet is known as boomerang freight. \nIf you are interested in attending this event\, please register HERE
