ALLIANCES

In February 2008 The Customs Consultancy formed a strategic alliance with DS Avocats a leading international law firm with offices in Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Brussels. Beijing, Guangzhou and Singapore. This enhances the ability of both firms to provide their clients with high quality services on a seamless basis over a broad range of practice areas and jurisdictions.

In June 2010 The Customs Consultancy entered into a formal alliance with Roger Bevan Consulting (RBC) a specialist independent VAT consultancy that was set up to combine the benefits of 'Big 4' experience with personal delivery, technical excellence and value for money. RBC is particularly active in the fields of Cross-Border VAT, including imports and importation procedures, Supply Chain and Dispute Resolution - all of which involve significant VAT costs. The Customs Consultancy's alliance with RBC reinforces our ability to support our clients in all matters relating to international trade.

CHARITABLE WORK

The Customs Consultancy provides specialist business mentoring service to The Prince's Trust. This charity was set up by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to give practical and financial support to 14 to 30-year-olds in the United Kingdom who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law.

Help for Heroes (H4H) was launched in October 2007 to help provide better facilities for British servicemen and women who have been wounded in Britain's current conflicts. H4H was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry after a profoundly moving visit to Selly Oak Hospital in the summer of 2007. Bryn and Emma met some extraordinarily brave young people who had been badly wounded and they just wanted to do something to help. Since its launch, H4H has raised over £80,000,000.00.
