Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Armadale.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Forwarding employers across Scotland include retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Armadale run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
