The operators, clerks and managers who move Bolton freight door to door.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Bolton draws on the North West's deep distribution, port and fulfilment labour market. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Businesses at sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.

Indicative permanent salaries in Bolton run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.

Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.

We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
For Bolton businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
