Vera Murphy
Vera Murphy is Managing Director of Bevan Murphy Customs Ltd. We are an International Trade training and consultancy company providing support to Global Forwarders, Customs Brokers, Industry and Government Agencies.
Vera has decades of deep functional expertise in Global Forwarding and International Trade having held senior positions in two of the top ten global forwarders in the world. This deep functional expertise informs the way these courses are developed and delivered. The emphasis is on the “How To” principle taking complex procedures, rules and regulations and breaking them down into manageable steps that can be easily incorporated into the fabric of the day-to-day business operations.
The aim of all Bevan Murphy training courses is to ensure that the skills learned continue long after the course is completed and become part of the day- to- day operation of the business.
We strongly believe that understanding International Trade Regulations & Processes is only one part of the process, equally important is making sure our clients have the tools and knowledge to apply these regulations to their own business and to be able to confidently self-audit on an ongoing basis.
In addition to our training courses, we advise National and International companies on all legal aspects of Customs, excise and foreign trade as well as implementation of customs and customs IT projects.
