Freight forwarding recruitment for Blyth businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
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 the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
With the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport serving the region, forwarders across the North East often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
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 Blyth 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.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Many branch managers started as operators. We recruit for every step of that career.
