We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Gateshead and the North East, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Across the North East, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks. We search for people who already know that trade.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
With the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport serving the region, forwarders across the North East often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
