Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Bourne.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Goods passing through sites such as DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Magna Park and the big-shed parks on the M1 and A14 depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Forwarding demand across the East Midlands follows national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bourne run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Branch managers earn well above clerks. Customs expertise commands a premium at every level. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
