Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Crieff businesses.

Tayside & Fife

Permanent forwarding managers for Crieff

Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.

Forwarding employers across Tayside & Fife include food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.

When the Crieff market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.

With the A90, M90 and A9, the Port of Dundee and Rosyth serving the region, forwarders across Tayside & Fife often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.

Positions we place

From clerks to branch managers

The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.

What sets the desk apart

A forwarding desk, not a generalist agency

Modes and lanes matched

Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.

Customer skills tested

Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.

Discreet approaches

Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.

What the market pays

What forwarders and customs specialists earn in Crieff

Indicative permanent salaries in Crieff run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.

Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.

The offer

We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Settling in

We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.

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.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The main trade lanes
  • The booking and customs systems in use
  • Customs declarations the role will handle
  • The main gap the new hire should fill
