From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Keynsham who know the paperwork and the customers.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Keynsham draws on the South West's distribution and port-logistics base, concentrated around the M5 corridor. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarding roles across the South West support trade through the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Keynsham run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. 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 stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
