We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Fordingbridge and the South East, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Forwarding vacancies across the South East come from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Forwarding roles across the South East support trade through the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Fordingbridge 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.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
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.
