Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Bicester

Hiring a customs specialist in Bicester? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.

South East

Customs and forwarding hiring across Bicester

Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.

Forwarding employers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.

Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.

Forwarders supporting sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
