The operators, clerks and managers who move Bishop's Stortford freight door to door.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Goods passing through sites such as Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — the A14 freight corridor and the parks along the M11 and A1(M) 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.
Across the East of England, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bishop's Stortford 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 approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
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.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
