Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Castleford.
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 M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster 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.
The strongest forwarding candidates across Yorkshire are usually already running desks for businesses such as retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
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 Castleford run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. 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 stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
