So where does Bethan fit in? You might ask.

You’ll find Bethan listed in the register of ‘Customs Agents.’ Having said that we are Customs Consultants rather than Agents – the distinction is important as there are notable differences in remit.

As consultants, the friendly and experienced team here at Bethan provides customs and supply chain support – as well as training – to businesses across a wide spectrum of industries, throughout the UK.

As far as customs support is concerned, sometimes it’s a case of ‘You don’t know what you don’t know.’ That’s where we come in. Whether it’s reviewing your customs and supply chain procedures, creating new ones, or just acting as your customs sounding board – we do it all, with a smile!

Some of the ways we can help:
