We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Broadstairs and the South East, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Forwarding vacancies across the South East come from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarding roles across the South East support trade through the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Broadstairs run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. 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.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
