Pawel Jarza appointed Frontier Policy Manager
Multimodal 2024 to again feature BIFA Forwarder Village
Many readers will recognise Pawel Jarza from his previous employment with BIFA. Before re-joining the British International Freight Association (BIFA) in January 2024 he has worked in a number of mainly Customs compliance-focused managerial roles in the traditional forwarding sector, but also in the highly automated e-commerce industry. Pawel is a Customs and operations manager with almost 20 years of experience in the logistics industry. He is also an MA degree holder (International Trade Regulations) understanding the legal and financial aspects of logistics. Pawel graduated from the University of Wroclaw, Department of Law, Administration and Economics.
The hugely popular Multimodal exhibition will take place at the NEC, Birmingham on 11-13 June this year – and once again will feature a BIFA Forwarder Village. Billed as the UK, Ireland and Northern Europe’s only one-stop trade show for cargo owners, Multimodal is the established meeting place for the industry with around 10,000 participants each year. BIFA personnel will be on- hand throughout the exhibition to answer questions and give guidance on all matters affecting Members’ activity.

He wrote his master’s thesis on international trade and commercial arbitration, focusing on the main aspects of international jurisdiction. He also holds a master’s degree in classics, which is his private hobby. Robert Windsor, Member Policy & Compliance Director, welcomes Pawel to the team
as Frontier Policy Manager responsible for liaison with UK government departments such as HMRC and Border Force, and other relevant external bodies. Pawel can be contacted by email at p.jarza@bifa.org and he will be working closely with Igor Popovics, Policy Advisor Customs.
