Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across London & the South East.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Forwarding employers across London & the South East include e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Businesses at sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
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 Barnet run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.

We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
