Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the South East.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Eastleigh draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
The strongest forwarding candidates across the South East are usually already running desks for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.

Indicative permanent salaries in Eastleigh run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
