Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Alnwick.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Forwarding employers across the North East include automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
With the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport serving the region, forwarders across the North East often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Alnwick run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.

Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Many branch managers started as operators. We recruit for every step of that career.
