Logistics operator celebrates 25 years of customs expertise

Samphire Customs is marking a significant anniversary as the company celebrates twenty-five years of supporting clients with expert customs clearance and documentation.

Samphire is the sister company of Birmingham-based Simpex Express which has allowed both businesses to provide complementary services across the logistics and customs sectors.

In January this year, the company changed its name from Samphire Cargo to Samphire Customs, a new name that better reflects its core services.

Since its founding, Samphire has established a strong reputation for reliability and professionalism, with a focus on making cross-border trade as simple as possible.

Over the past two years, Samphire has been a finalist in the BIFA Freight Service Awards, reflecting its commitment to excellence within the logistics industry.

The company achieved AEO accreditation in 2019, further highlighting its dedication to maintaining the highest standards in customs compliance.

Gary Smith-Watson, managing director of Samphire Customs, said: “Over the past 25 years, the customs and logistics industry has changed enormously, especially with the challenges brought by Brexit.

Samphire has grown and evolved with the sector, expanding to operate from two offices, in Dover and Lesquin, France, and building a team passionate about supporting our clients and delivering reliable customs services.

Reaching this anniversary is something we are incredibly proud of, and it reflects the dedication and expertise of everyone who has contributed to Samphire’s success.”
