Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Fraserburgh.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Logistics around Fraserburgh is shaped by the North Sea energy supply base, Aberdeen's harbour traffic and a large chilled and seafood distribution sector. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
With the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport serving the region, forwarders across North East Scotland often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
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.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Fraserburgh 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, 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.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
