Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Ivybridge.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Logistics around Ivybridge is defined by trunk-road distance from the national network, strong seasonal peaks and a large food and drink base. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Businesses at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.

Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
