Freight Forwarding Recruitment across Bristol

As a specialist permanent freight forwarding recruiter, we place the forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers who move international freight door to door across Bristol and the South West.

Bristol is the South West's distribution gateway — Avonmouth's deep-water port and the M4/M5 junction make it the natural hub for serving the West Country and South Wales.

We recruit throughout the South West — from Avonmouth and Severnside, Western Approach and the M5 corridor — for businesses connected by the M5, M4 and M32, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Typical employers we partner with include port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
