Happy homecoming for BIFA’s new frontier expert

[ March 5, 2024   //   ]

The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has appointed Pawel Jarza as frontier policy manager, part of its policy and compliance team.

He will be responsible for liaison with UK government departments such as HMRC and Border Force and other external stakeholders, working closely with Igor Popovics, policy advisor Customs, and Robert Windsor, member services director policy and compliance.
The appointment comes at an important time for the UK frontier post-Brexit with the  roll-out of the Border Trade Operating Model and the Single Trade Window.
A graduate of the university of Wroclaw, Jarza has almost 20 years of experience in logistics, mainly in Customs compliance-focused managerial roles.
He previously worked at the trade association as its policy and compliance adviser, again focusing on customs issues.
BIFA director general, Steve Parker said: “We welcome back Pawel and are sure that his experience in the Customs environment will help our Policy and Compliance Department to fulfil its role of providing effective representation and support for BIFA members within the broader context of the UK and international freight services industry, during a period of momentous change in frontier procedures.”
