Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Biggleswade

Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the East of England.

East of England

Biggleswade freight forwarding recruitment

Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.

Goods passing through sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11 depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.

A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.

With the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport serving the region, forwarders across the East of England often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
