Director, Global Logistics

Seqirus, A CSL Company

"Following the submission of a detailed argument to challenge the U.S. government import requirements, a new, fully compliant end-to-end process was accepted. The new U.S. import process removed unnecessary documentation and administration, and resulted in earlier product release to the U.S. market. This was a very significant achievement.

I would recommend him to anyone looking for reliable international logistics solutions."

Seqirus, A CSL Company

"We were impressed with the detailed and extensive procedures which your U.S. businesses have implemented, at Ian’s direction. This is a significant validation of the six years of efforts by Ian to establish a comprehensive import compliance program."
