It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of James Dyson, a respected figure in the Australian freight and customs industry, and father of Dyson Logistics Owner & CEO, Kane Dyson.
Driven by a lifelong passion for aviation, James began his career with Ansett ANA in Sydney in 1955. He soon found his calling in customs brokerage, obtaining his Customs Agent licence in 1960 at just 23 years of age, believed to be one of the youngest licensed customs agents in NSW at the time.
In 1970, James established James D. Dyson Pty Ltd from a small settler’s cottage in Ewan Street, Mascot, building a highly respected customs agency founded on knowledge, integrity and hard work.
His deep expertise and commitment to the industry led to his appointment as Vice President of the Customs Brokers Council of Australia, earning the admiration and respect of colleagues and peers across the freight community.
Although James retired in 2005 after an incredible 50 years in the industry, his legacy and contribution to Australian customs and freight forwarding continue to be remembered.

A couple of important reminders:
