Geoff Taylor, Managing Director of AEB (International), is one of the expert panelists and business roundtable hosts at the IoD Open House events. Together with his team in the UK, Geoff is working closely with manufacturers and traders across UK industry sectors to understand the impact of global trade changes such as Brexit, HMRC system changes, US trade wars or any other dynamic development, and what it takes to build efficient and flexible supply chains in the digital age to ensure future success.

Geoff Taylor said: "Economic uncertainty has shaken business confidence, but it also highlights the clear advantage for businesses that harness new technology when trading across borders. Modernizing and tapping the potential of global trade and digital customs management empowers companies to respond quickly to changes and achieve excellent returns on investment at the same time. It also advances businesses' digital agenda, which is a high priority for business leaders across sectors. I look forward to discussing individual challenges and how to make international trade simpler with attendees of the IoD Open House events."
