Shannon Hawkins, Selo

As of a couple of years ago, we had never done any exports, so the guidance from IFS has been absolutely invaluable. It’s meant we’ve had the knowledge required at each step of the process to achieve our export goals, and their support is going to be invaluable as we seek to reach more markets over the next few years.

Any queries / questions we had along the way were dealt with very well and you were all informative. Your additional help with sending the links for our customer to register for an EORI was also very useful and helped us push the customer in the right direction.
