Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Deeside

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

North Wales

Permanent forwarding managers for Deeside

We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.

Freight across North Wales moves through the A55 expressway, the A483, the A5 and the port of Holyhead. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.

We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.

Forwarding demand across North Wales follows advanced manufacturing and aerospace, Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, food processing and regional 3PLs.

Discreet approaches

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

New desks and branches

For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The brief

Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.

Technical screen

Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.

Contract restrictions

We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The booking and customs systems in use
  • Customs declarations the role will handle
  • Salary, commission and bonus
  • Your interview process and any technical test
