Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Jarrow businesses.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Goods passing through sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19 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.
Forwarding demand across the North East follows automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
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 keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Jarrow 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.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
