Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Billingham businesses.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Forwarding vacancies across the Tees Valley come from chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
With the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport serving the region, forwarders across the Tees Valley often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Billingham run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
