Freight forwarding recruitment for Formby businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Freight across the North West moves through the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
When the Formby market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Formby run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
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.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
