International Supply Chain Consultancy Services

Ian Simmonds • November 15, 2019

I will help you to navigate the often complex processes involved in global trade. 


In 2004, I established ICS Global Services Limited.


ICS exists to provide international logistics and supply chain consultancy services to clients. An innovative and decisive business leader, I’m a great ‘international problem solver’. With an impressive track record of executing strategic objectives by leveraging international best practices and strong relationships, I’ve now turned to providing help and support to businesses that need it. 


My Expertise


Thanks to my strong logistics, import, export and trade compliance background, I’m an obvious choice when it comes to issues regarding international trade. Passionate about my role and international trade, I established my own company to provide interim services, consultancy and third-party import and export services. Having worked as a senior executive for a number of FMCG blue-chip companies, I’m now bringing that expertise to businesses via my own company - ICS Global Services Limited


Having completed a number of projects in the past that include import/export, customs clearance, duty management, trade compliance, bonded warehousing, international logistics, international freight, supply chain modelling, customs regulations, commodity classification and risk management, I’m uniquely suited to dealing with a huge assortment of problems.


Endorsements


"Working with Ian is a great experience as his level of knowledge of the industry and his work skills are some of the best I have had the pleasure of working with. Ian is always professional, with well thought out plans for moving the business forward and with his attention to detail we have implemented many new initiatives successfully."


"The world of logistics is becoming increasingly complex with a dizzy array of compliance issues that now associate themselves with all businesses. I have had an excellent experience working together with Ian Simmonds and anyone who needs to address issues particularly in compliance as it relates to logistics, would find Ian an extremely useful 'asset and tool"


"I worked with Ian for 3 years and relied on his knowledge and professionalism to help navigate difficult supply chain situations across the world. He makes good companies great."


"Following the submission of a detailed argument to challenge the U.S. government import requirements, a new, fully compliant end-to-end process was accepted. The new U.S. import process removed unnecessary documentation and administration, and resulted in earlier product release to the U.S. market. This was a very significant achievement. I would recommend him to anyone looking for reliable international logistics solutions."
