We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Barrow-in-Furness and the North West, 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 Cumbria come from chilled food distribution, defence and marine manufacturing, energy supply chains and Anglo-Scottish trunking operators. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
Forwarding roles across Cumbria support trade through the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Barrow-in-Furness 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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
