Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Frome.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Freight across the South West moves through the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
When the Frome market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Businesses at sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Frome 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.

A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
