Lee and Guy’s visit to Berlin!

Earlier this month, Lee and Guy took a trip to Berlin, Germany. During their visit, Lee and Guy caught up with SevenSenders and attended the eCommerce Berlin Expo.

Alex and Daniel showed them around their offices, and had the pleasure of enjoying a cold beverage from their beer fridge! When is the UKPW beer fridge arriving? 😉

At the expo, Lee and Guy’s main focus was to explore the show and vet it as a potential for UKPW to exhibit in 2023 and extend our EU customer base. During the day, they walked the floor connecting with various exhibitors along the way and Lee even managed to bag some free sweets for his children.

Near the end of their visit, Lee and Guy called their Marketing Manager and expressed how impressed they were with the show set-up and atmosphere and thought it would be a good fit for UKPW to exhibit in 2023. We have since reached out and booked our stand for February 2023 and are very much looking forward to planning our activity in the lead up to the show.

 

A long term customs partnership

Post-Brexit we needed to find a solution to moving our goods between the UK and the EU in the most efficient and cost-effective manner, as the impact of getting the setup wrong would have resulted in millions of pounds of additional duty incurred annually.

We met with numerous potential partners but it quickly became apparent that Lee and the team from UKP Worldwide (UKPW) were both experts in their field but also flexible in their approach, which we felt was critical as we looked to build a long term solution in a constantly changing and uncertain political and economic environment.

So far, 2021 proved to be the most challenging from a customs clearance standpoint but leveraging our partnership with UKPW, we managed to navigate those challenges and have come out stronger as a result. And, despite several suppliers being involved in the end-to-end supply chain, UKPW helps massively by taking control of the whole process, meaning my team has one point of contact and can rely on UKPW to manage our goods movements and provide quick updates to any queries we may have.

This year see us continuing to grow our partnership as more post-Brexit rules are implemented and UKPW continues to support and educate us throughout these changes.
