Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across Scotland.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Callander is served by Scotland's logistics network, centred on the Central Belt's rail-connected freight parks. Across Scotland, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
The strongest forwarding candidates across Scotland are usually already running desks for businesses such as whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Callander run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Forwarding pay in Scotland moves with mode, seniority and customs responsibility: customs specialists and branch managers usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
For Callander businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
