Clients Say
'Blundstone Footwear has utilised the services and skills of IVS since 2006. During this time I have been more than satisfied with the level of service provided. This is endorsed by my staff, who are now totally committed with a full understanding of the importance of the biosecurity role we all play in protecting New Zealand’s borders. Our membership to the IVS Biosecurity Support Programme ensures our Transitional Facility, and staff at Blundstone, are kept up to date with the ongoing changes which occur in this industry. I have found IVS staff and their trainers are always willing to assist, very friendly, providing a professional service and good advice where needed. I recommend IVS to any Importer (or Exporter) who needs to maintain their Transitional Facility or who need staff trained. IVS is the company that will see you right.'

IVS have tailor-made a process for our company which caused minimum disruption to our business and has enabled us to become an MAF Biosecurity NZ Approved Transitional Facility.'
Derek Morgan, General Manager – Logistics
'Stephen and the team at IVS have been instrumental in assisting our business to become MAF Biosecurity NZ compliant and accredited, through training, education and support.
Their service has been exceptional, with onsite visits and guidance through the necessary processes. Being accredited to operate a transitional facility requires accurate paperwork; our membership to the IVS Biosecurity Support Programme has given us the confidence that we’re assisting customers accurately, while adding value to our business. I thoroughly recommend their team of experts .'
