Freight forwarding recruitment for Blackpool businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Across the North West, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. We search for people who already know that trade.
A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.
The strongest forwarding candidates across the North West are usually already running desks for businesses such as retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Blackpool run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Forwarding pay in the North West moves with mode, seniority and customs responsibility: customs specialists and branch managers usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Many branch managers started as operators. We recruit for every step of that career.
