Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the North West.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Goods passing through sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Forwarding roles across the North West support trade through the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hyde run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
