We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Amersham and the South East, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Forwarding vacancies across the South East come from grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
When the Amersham market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Businesses at sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Amersham run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.

We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
