The operators, clerks and managers who move Birmingham freight door to door.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Across the West Midlands, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54. We search for people who already know that trade.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
With the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections serving the region, forwarders across the West Midlands often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Birmingham run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
