We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Beeston and the East Midlands, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Goods passing through sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1 depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
When the Beeston market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
With the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal serving the region, forwarders across the East Midlands often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Beeston run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Branch managers earn well above clerks. Customs expertise commands a premium at every level. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
