Freight forwarding recruitment for Cirencester businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Logistics around Cirencester is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Across the South West, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Forwarding demand across the South West follows food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cirencester run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
