As a specialist permanent freight forwarding recruiter, we place the forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers who move international freight door to door across Derby and the East Midlands.
Derby pairs a world-class advanced-manufacturing base with quick access to the East Midlands Gateway, making it a strong hub for both supply-chain and distribution talent.
We recruit throughout Derbyshire — from the East Midlands Gateway, the A50 corridor and the Pride Park and Raynesway sites — for businesses connected by the A38, A50 and M1, East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands Gateway rail freight terminal. Typical employers we partner with include big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
Permanent freight forwarding roles, from the floor to senior leadership.
We know where freight forwarding talent sits across the East Midlands Gateway, the A50 corridor and the Pride Park and Raynesway sites — and what it takes to move them.
Post-Brexit customs expertise is scarce and highly sought after. We hold relationships with forwarders and customs people who move rarely — and only for the right move.
Every freight forwarding role we work in Derby is a permanent appointment — never temp, agency or contract cover.
Indicative permanent salaries in Derby run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
