Ian Jones - Managing Director
Ian has been in the Industry for over 30 Years. Commencing his career in London, England, he began, as all school leavers do, with data entry and assisting various operators. He quickly developed a taste and talent for Export Operations and was promoted to head the Deep Sea Export Dept before the age of 20. Moving into International Removals, Ian moved his general export freight talent into the International Removals scene, developing consolidation services from the UK into Australia.
1992 saw Ian leave the UK for Melbourne, Australia where he moved back into International Freight Forwarding taking on the role of Import Manager at one of Australia's medium sized Customs Brokerage firms. After serving diligently for over 8 Years, Ian decided that it would possibly be a good idea to set up a new Dynamic Business focused on what customers wanted, Competitive Pricing, Customer Service and Client Knowledge.
