Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Bramhall

Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Bramhall.

North West

Hiring forwarding people for good in Bramhall

Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.

Logistics around Bramhall is powered by the M6/M62 corridor, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and one of the UK's densest warehousing clusters. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.

A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.

With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, forwarders across the North West often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.

A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.

Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The modes: air, sea, road or all three
  • The booking and customs systems in use
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main gap the new hire should fill

Before you ask

How do you screen forwarding candidates?

Can you recruit business development managers?

Yes. We recruit forwarding BDMs and ask about the business they have won, not just the targets they were set.

Do you recruit for port-based roles?

Yes. Tell us the port or airport and we will look for people who know its routines.

Do you also recruit transport planners?

Yes. Our transport planning desk recruits planners, schedulers and transport managers.

Do you recruit branch managers?

Yes. For branch manager roles we run a discreet search and approach people who are not on the market.
