Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the East Midlands.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Goods passing through sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Across the East Midlands, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Buxton run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
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.
