We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Croydon and London & the South East, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Freight across London & the South East moves through the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarders supporting sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Croydon 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.
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.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
A strong forwarding brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Air, sea and road forwarders, import and export clerks, customs compliance specialists, operations coordinators, account and business development managers and branch managers.
We check the modes, lanes and systems they have worked, the customs declarations they have handled and their right to work.
Upload your CV and tell us your modes, lanes and systems. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
Yes. For branch manager roles we run a discreet search and approach people who are not on the market.
