Two decades in business for Nuneaton firm IFS

The husband and wife behind a Nuneatonbased global trade solutions company are celebrating 20 years in business.

Jenny and David Hooper thanked friends, family, business partners and staff members as the pair marked two decades since they launched Independent Freight Solutions (IFS) in autumn 2004 and looked ahead to a period of growth for the business.

IFS, based at Attleborough Fields Industrial Estate, provides freight and customs solutions across the globe, serving customers in six continents.

After revealing a raft of promotions along with the establishment of a new senior team earlier this year, IFS has set its sights on reaching 20 members of staff to mark the anniversary, which would represent a significant milestone in their long-term plan.

David said it had been incredible to see the development of the business over the last 20 years, having started it from home.

He said: “It’s been an unbelievable journey for me and Jenny, and there have been so many people along the way who have helped us get to where we are today, including my mum has supported us every step of the way.

“I’d like to thank everyone, especially our fantastic team, who has supported us over the last 20 years.

“We are really excited about the future as we continue to grow, and along with lots of changes including a rebrand and new leadership team in recent months, there is still plenty we want to achieve as a team in the coming years.”

Jenny said: “Everyone in our team plays an important role in making IFS a success and it’s great to have an opportunity to celebrate them.

“While we operate all over the world, we have the privilege of working in a fantastic business community in Warwickshire and the Midlands, and we are looking forward to continuing to grow in this region.”
