Johnson Stevens Agencies became a BIFA Member in its early beginnings. It is a liner agent which has always been<br />
a friend of the freight forwarding industry, and appreciates the closeness it has with the freight forwarding business.<br />
Johnson Stevens Agencies continues to derive a substantial amount of its import and export business from freight<br />
forwarders throughout the UK and Ireland, and it is, therefore, the right decision to sponsor the Young <strong>Freight</strong><br />
Forwarder Award to promote young people in the freight forwarding industry.<br />
We view our contribution as a ‘thank-you’ from the Directors and Management of Johnson Stevens Agencies for<br />
the closeness and the support that it derives from the BIFA Secretariat and the <strong>Association</strong>’s members.<br />
