Industry News XAAR supports Africa school campaign
S
imon Rumbles, strategic indirect buyer at Xaar has completed his second trip to Africa volunteering to help local schools in Nakuru, Kenya, thanks in part to the support of his employer Xaar.
Organised by Midlands charity Derby County Community Trust in collaboration with African Adventures, the project allowed a total of 80 volunteers to travel to Africa to help local schools build new classrooms, renovate older parts of the buildings and teach the children. As part of Xaar’s Sustainability Roadmap and Volunteering Scheme, the Group’s employees are encouraged to take part in all types of volunteering, including overseas. Through this, the company has supported Rumbles’ volunteering by donating £500 and granting extra annual leave each time, making both trips possible. Many of the scheme’s volunteers returned to the Jubilee Academy in Nakuru for a second year and were
able to build on last year’s work to make the school a safer and more enjoyable environment for pupils.

Logistics at Kingly is better than ever
K
ingly are offi cially changing their delivery and Incoterms in regard to shipping to the UK. The company is slowly moving from DDP to DAP UK. This means customers only have to pay their VAT on import. Also, if clients are VAT registered in the UK, the good news is that this VAT on import is refundable to them. No duties will be applicable. If a courier company decides to invoice clients for duties, this means it is most probably a mistake on their side. Kingly strongly encourage their clients to inform them of any issues that might have occurred.
Clients should note that once they have the tracking number for their shipment, they can track it at this address.
