Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Glastonbury

From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Glastonbury who know the paperwork and the customers.

South West

Air, sea and road forwarders in Glastonbury

Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.

Forwarding employers across the South West include food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.

A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.

Businesses at sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
