Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the East Midlands.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Across the East Midlands, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub. We search for people who already know that trade.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
The strongest forwarding candidates across the East Midlands are usually already running desks for businesses such as national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Grantham run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the workload and the customers as they are.
