Young Forwarder Network

Double Offer at YFN NW for both young people and members
At the next NW YFN event which falls during National Apprenticeship Week, we have two events in one.

Have you any idea how much organised crime takes place within our sector?
Probably not. Then why not come along to the next BIFA YFN event in the London East region.
Our guest speakers will be the team from Operation PANDORA (Joint Borders Intelligence Team), who are working with the shipping and forwarding trade to combat this.

At this event you will be taken on a guided virtual tour of the DP World London Gateway Port discovering the services available at this modern and fast growing logistics centre.

This event takes place during National Careers Week and near International Women's Day. Due to the success of the recent London East YFN event, we are delighted to announce that our next speaker for the Anglia YFN region, is the first female chair of the London Freight Club, Chrissy Nichols. 

The virtual BIFA Young Forwarder Network arranges monthly online webinars featuring speakers from across the logistics sector. Apprentices and others new to the industry are welcome to register to join an event to expand their horizons.

The first Young Forwarder Network event for the Avonmouth region will take place at the Bristol Port Company.
Attendees will receive an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of a modern, thriving business offering the full range of shipping, distribution, and logistics services.

The next BIFA YFN workshop will take place on 24 April 2024 at 15:30 when our guest speaker will be BIFA’s Training Development Manager, Graeme Wilkinson. Graeme will deliver a bitesize training course all about Incoterms 2020.
