About Us

Rob Jenkins, Director, International Trade Solutions

We established International Trade Solutions back in 2001 on the principle of delivering clear and measurable value to the highest professional standards, something that I feel passionately about to this day.

Core to what we do, is an ongoing dialogue with our clients to ensure we focus on what is important to you. We have aligned our services to your needs including providing certainty of cost, peace of mind that your legal obligations are fulfilled and a delivery of measurable competitive advantage through cost-savings and duty reclaims.

Being an independent consultancy gives us a real insight into the challenges and issues facing our clients because we too have to focus on cash-flow, optimisation of costs, getting real and measurable returns on our investments as well as delivering a quality service that our clients enjoy and we can be proud of. We too must build for the future but keep an eye on the present.

We will not cut corners or compromise our service for short-term gain but continue to invest heavily in the tools and training to deliver the same excellence as my team previously did at Arthur Andersen’s. We seek to build long term relationships with our clients built on trust flowing from our candour and independence. The quality of our client base and the longevity of our client relations are not only something that I am proud of but proof that we are doing something right!

I hope that this brochure will provide some pointers about our industry and how we could best assist you.
