BIFA appoints training manager

[ April 25, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has promoted Graeme Wilkinson to training development manager. He joined BIFA’s training team in 2017 and has played a major role in the re-design of all of BIFA’s training materials since it took its extensive portfolio of training and education activities in-house, replacing an external contractor.

He has over 25 years of freight forwarding experience, including spells at Pantos Logistics, C.H. Robinson, MIQ Logistics and Emery Worldwide, and now heads BIFA’s five-strong training team.

Graeme reports to Carl Hobbis, one of BIFA’s executive directors who also has overall responsibility for the trade association’s training activities, who said: “During Graeme’s six years at BIFA he has shown how his wide range of industry knowledge, covering many aspects of forwarding and logistics, can provide excellent support for the delivery of our freight and customs training programmes.

“2022 was another excellent year for BIFA’s training activities, which continue to go from strength to strength and are generally seen as the most engaging in the industry.

“We are anticipating demand for all the different courses and programmes that we offer to remain high in 2023.”
