The operators, clerks and managers who move Cheadle freight door to door.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Cheadle sits in the North West — the region's logistics engine, where Trafford Park, the M62 and the Port of Liverpool drive distribution across the North. Across the North West, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Across the North West, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cheadle 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.
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.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
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.
