A Message from Peter

It has been nine years since I started the company, this year I asked myself what was I thinking when I started out? I would have to say, the goal was to start a customs brokerage which would provide a higher level of service in regards to customs clearance services at a fair price.

Whether you and I meet during the year, in your home town, or at a trade fair, we have the same goal – the goal to do business with someone we respect. I love the work that I get to do each day, whether it is clearing diamonds from India, gold jewellery from Dubai or solar panels from China. At the end of the day, money is not the reason that I am in business – I am in business because this is what I do best.

My work has allowed me to meet some great people and to have an extended 'family' of business clients. I thank you for the support you have given my business thus far and hope we can continue to do business in the future.

I hope you enjoy reading this newsletter and the issues to come. Please feel free to contact me with any feedback or questions you have.
