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