Freight forwarding recruitment for Bootle 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.
From container logistics on the Mersey to big-shed distribution on the M62, employers around Bootle compete for experienced permanent people. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
Businesses at sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
