The company, which is celebrating its 20^th anniversary this year, has appointed sales & marketing manager Anna Marszalek, branch manager Neil Lewis and operations manager Emily De Sousa into its new senior management team.

The trio have 12 years’ experience with the business between them, with Emily also receiving a promotion from her role as customs manager to oversee both the customs and freight teams.

The north-Warwickshire business has also appointed Rena Heer as freight team leader after three years in her freight operations role, while Jamie Harper has taken up the role of customs team leader after two years with the business.

Jenny Hooper, managing director of IFS, said: “We have an excellent track record of internal promotions within the business with many of our team having previously been apprentices with us.

“We are delighted to have appointed Anna, Neil and Emily to our new senior management team. After 20 years as a business, we are looking at ways to continue growing, and they will play a crucial role in supporting that process and maintaining our high standards across everything we do.

“We are also thrilled to see Jamie and Rena take on management positions with us after excelling in their previous roles. It’s an exciting time for the business and we looking forward to continuing to grow together.”

IFS was founded in 2004 by David and Jenny Hooper, and provides expertise to help companies of all sizes and sectors in the Midlands and beyond achieve their trade goals anywhere in the world, from compliance advice to resolving complex shipment issues.

This summer also marks 10 years with the company for facilities manager Kim Batchelor, while two apprentices, in sales and finance, have joined the business since the end of last year.
