Mr Wilkinson has over 20 years’ experience of freight forwarding and joins from Pantos Logistics, where he was import operations assistant manager. He has also  had roles with CH Robinson, MIQ Logistics and Emery Worldwide.

Carl Hobbis, BIFA training development manager, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Graeme to our team. His wide range of industry knowledge, covering many aspects of forwarding and logistics, is perfect for the delivery of our freight and customs training.
