Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the East Midlands.

East Midlands

A freight forwarding desk for Hucknall

Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.

Goods passing through sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.

Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.

The strongest forwarding candidates across the East Midlands are usually already running desks for businesses such as national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
