Davies Turner opens Dartford Customs services floor
This, together with similar, slightly-smaller centres at some of its other UK freight hubs including Avonmouth and Manchester, houses one of the company’s newly created national Customs processing teams set up in 2020 in preparation for the end of the Brexit Transition Period.
Davies Turner director Alan Williams says that the new development allows the forwarder to increase numbers in the office by 30 per cent, whilst still observing government rules on social distancing, adding: “We have recruited over 30 new people and it will allow us to dramatically scale up the number of Customs clearances that we perform.”
The new centre will not only house Customs clearance activities, it will also include a training suite to increase the number of staff at the forwarding company that have Customs processing experience and qualifications.
