Freight forwarding recruitment for Bridgend businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Forwarding vacancies across Wales come from port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
When the Bridgend market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
With the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead serving the region, forwarders across Wales often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bridgend 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.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
