The British International Freight Association (BIFA) Board and Council has approved the promotion of Robert Windsor (pictured above) and Spencer Stevenson (pictured below) to directors.

Windsor joined the BIFA secretariat in June 2009, and will continue to lead the trade association’s representational work with government and many other organisations that BIFA seeks to influence on behalf of its freight forwarding members.

Stevenson joined the BIFA secretariat in June 2010, and will continue his role overseeing membership and training activity and coordinate the activities of others in the secretariat who share differing roles dealing with BIFA’s training provision.

BIFA director general, Robert Keen says: “These are well deserved promotions. Both have been with the Secretariat for quite a while and have excelled in their fields of responsibility.

“We anticipate a greater workload once the details of Brexit are known, so Windsor will add this to his existing portfolio and we will recruit a customs advisor to assist in our policy and compliance activities.”
