The operators, clerks and managers who move Devizes freight door to door.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Goods passing through sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
When the Devizes market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarding roles across the South West support trade through the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Devizes run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
