Bryden Halloway

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Bryden has worked in the freight forwarding, customs and logistics industry for 21 years. Prior to establishing Compliant Business Processing, Bryden held a GM role with a multi-national forwarder. In that capacity he instigated, implemented and oversaw the offshoring of a variety of operational, accounting and customer service tasks utilizing 3rd parties in Indonesia, China, India and the Philippines. Having a wholesale customs brokerage business exclusively servicing freight forwarders, Bryden realized it made sense to establish Compliant's own offshore team to assist with data processing activities. It then became apparent that Compliant's freight forwarding customers and others in the logistics supply chain would derive value from Compliant's industry experience and our business infrastructure in the Philippines. And so Compliant Business Processing was created, servicing freight forwarders, 3PL's and transport operators with labor alternatives from the Philippines.

Kylie Gandy

COO OF THE COMPLIANT GROUP

Kylie joins us from Ceva Logistics, where she held senior leadership roles and was instrumental in driving operational excellence, large-scale transformation, and strategic growth across multiple regions.

Matthew Brown

COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR

Matt has more than 24 years of experience within the international logistics, customs and supply chain industry. Matt started his career in 1999, joining a small Customs Brokerage in Sydney, where he developed a keen interest in the world of international trade. Matt continued his career within multinational freight forwarders, eventually moving into sales positions with landside service & equipment providers before moving into international logistics recruitment. Matt established his own supply chain recruitment agency in 2010, which became one of the largest providers of staff to the international freight and logistics industry in Australia. Initially resistant to the outsourced BPO service model, Matt sold his recruitment agency in 2018 and joined CBP after realizing a strong BPO partner could significantly eliminate pain points and provide substantial savings and increased capabilities to industry members across the globe.
