Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Hull businesses.

Humber

Permanent forwarding managers for Hull

Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.

Across the Humber, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the Port of Hull, the Humber International Enterprise Park and the A63 corridor. We search for people who already know that trade.

We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.

Forwarding roles across the Humber support trade through the M62, the A63, the A15 Humber Bridge and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham.

Positions we place

From clerks to branch managers

The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.

What sets the desk apart

A forwarding desk, not a generalist agency

Systems experience

We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.

A shortlist you can use

A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.

What the market pays

What forwarders and customs specialists earn in Hull

Indicative permanent salaries in Hull run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
