Deloitte is expanding its East of England operations with the creation of a new Customs Trade facility

Boasting a 30-strong team at Crown House in Ipswich, Deloitte’s Customs Trade facility will provide digital tax services for companies to manage customs compliance and other areas such as customs freight simplified procedures.

The team will form part of Deloitte’s Global Trade Bureau and will work alongside the firm’s Global Trade Advisory team.

Deloitte Global Trade Bureau lead partner, Richard Vitou, said: “We’re hugely excited about establishing Global Trade Bureau as a market-leading customs compliance offering here in Ipswich.  Being in such close proximity to the Port of Felixstowe, a hugely significant transport hub for the UK and Europe has also provided us with access to the very best talent in customs and international trade in the UK.”

Paul Schofield, Deloitte South East practice senior partner, said: “By extending our tax offering with the Global Trade Bureau, our new colleagues in Ipswich will enable us to deliver another great service in the region.”
