During the past year they have secured 16 new contracts with clients in the food and drink, automotive, construction and retail sectors.
A new compliance executive, Gus Firth has also been appointed, which brings their team to six members of permanent staff.
Nicola Alexander, managing director, said: “When I established the business 5 years ago, I could scarcely have imagined we would be in the position we now find ourselves! Our growth has been very organic, largely due to the spread of our reputation as clients recognised the value of our services, and recommended us.
“Despite the challenges of lockdown and remote working, I am very proud of how the team pulled together to deliver the same high standards of service that our clients expect, and I am very much looking forward to continuing our journey together.”
As part of the continued growth of the company, two members of the team have also been promoted. Elaine Lownds has been named customs manager, while Aby Wilson has been promoted to the role of business development manager.
