Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Bothwell businesses.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
From whisky and food-and-drink to energy logistics, employers around Bothwell compete for experienced permanent people across Scotland. 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.
With the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen serving the region, forwarders across Scotland often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
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 Bothwell run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
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.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
