The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has appointed Carri Marais, as trainer for freight and customs procedures.

She who joins BIFA from DB Schenker Road Freight and will be based in South Yorkshire, bringing over 25 years of experience in freight forwarding and logistics, customs, customer service and key account management, as well as documentation.

Prior to DB Schenker Road Freight, she worked at UPS-SCS for many years, as well as IFE Global Logistics.

Carl Hobbis, executive director with responsibility for training said: “With the appointment of another full-time trainer to our training delivery team, we now have a four-strong team based in Yorkshire, Manchester, Birmingham and Heathrow, which will enable us to deliver more training days for our members during 2023.”

BIFA director general, Steve Parker added: “Brexit, the switch from CHIEF to CDS, and the development of a relevant international freight forwarding specialist apprenticeship, are among a number of issues that have led to a significant increase in the demand for our training programmes. Carri’s appointment strengthens the team and helps to ensure that we have the resources in place to meet demand.”
