The operators, clerks and managers who move Anstruther freight door to door.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Employers around Anstruther recruit permanent logistics people for agri-food, manufacturing and retail distribution across Tayside and Fife. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Forwarding demand across Tayside & Fife follows port and coastal logistics, food processing, retail distribution and manufacturing supply chains.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Anstruther run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
