Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across London & the South East.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Forwarding employers across London & the South East include last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Businesses at sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
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 Havering run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Branch managers earn well above clerks. Customs expertise commands a premium at every level. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
