Description:
Strong & Herd LLP, Import/Export Services (S&H) was formed in February 1995 by Sandra Strong and Brian Herd who were formerly colleagues in the Corporate HQ of Ferranti International the world renowned electronics and defence group Ferranti were forced into receivership in late 1993 after being defrauded by their American partners International Signal and Control.
With the benefit of a joint 25 years experience gained within the Ferranti group the Strong and Herd partnership, which began with the support and encouragement of newly formed former Ferranti companies in 1995, has gone from strength to strength. The Partnership began by providing shipping office outsource services and support to members of the former Ferranti Group but soon progressed to making the service available to companies who lack such resources and expertise 'in-house'.
This day-to-day practical involvement in the ever-changing world of import and export has enabled Strong & Herd to write and present training courses that are topical and relevant to today's international trade scene. S&H training courses are now recognised by a large number of UK companies as a reliable provider of benefit to their import and export staffs, the courses are, in fact, often used as part of the induction training for new members of staff. Many companies have sent delegates to Strong & Herd import, customs and export training courses since they began. Response to these courses has been truly excellent, this is borne out by the delegates' evaluation reports; the degree of enthusiasm is shown across the board from the SME 's to the Plc's.
S&H training courses have been approved by the Institute of Export and have been allocated CPD points (Continual Professional Development).
