In this episode, we were joined by Simon Hartley of J Heebink to talk about all things imports and exports, and how this has changed and may continue to change after Brexit.
Show Notes
J Heebink are an international logistics company servicing the Benelux, the German Ruhr, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Simon has been working in the freight sector for almost 40 years, so he has a wealth of experience, and gave us a candid view of how imports and exports to and from Europe had been affected since January 2021, and what customers need to do going forward to maintain the flow of materials to and from Europe.
We recorded this podcast in early February 2021, just 5 weeks after the changes bought about by Brexit had begun. Take a listen to get a better understanding of what it is like being in the middle of the process, and for a variety of suggestions and advice to help you and your business in this first transition period.
We talked about the following in this podcast:
* Simon's Early Career, and what J Heebink offer to their clients
* How prepared Logistics companies were for the changes that occurred in January 2021
* How Brexit impacted services in the first two weeks of January 2021
* How things have changed, now we are five weeks down the line
* What the government could have done better
* The cost implications and the changes to freight timescales
* How companies can work to reduce the impact of the new border controls.
* COVID and its impact since March 2020
