Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Dunfermline businesses.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Freight across Tayside & Fife moves through the A90, M90 and A9, the Port of Dundee and Rosyth. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Businesses at sites such as the Port of Dundee and the Dundee and Perth industrial estates compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dunfermline 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.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
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.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
