Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Brixham businesses.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Freight across Devon & Cornwall moves through the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
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 Brixham 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.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
