Hiring a customs specialist in Dumfries? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Goods passing through sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
With the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals serving the region, forwarders across southern Scotland often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dumfries run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Branch managers earn well above clerks. Customs expertise commands a premium at every level. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
