The operators, clerks and managers who move Chatham freight door to door.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Chatham sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
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.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
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 Chatham 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, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
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.
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.
