Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Forres businesses.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Forres draws on North East Scotland's logistics labour market — energy supply-base work, harbour operations and temperature-controlled distribution. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
When the Forres market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarding demand across North East Scotland follows offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs.
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.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
Indicative permanent salaries in Forres 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.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
Strong operators become account managers and branch managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
