Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across southern Scotland.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Forwarding vacancies across southern Scotland come from cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
Businesses at sites such as the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M) compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Eyemouth run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
