Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the North East.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Freight across the North East moves through the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
The strongest forwarding candidates across the North East are usually already running desks for businesses such as automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers.
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.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bedlington run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Forwarding pay in the North East moves with mode, seniority and customs responsibility: customs specialists and branch managers usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
