Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across Norfolk & the Fens.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Across Norfolk & the Fens, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the A47 corridor between King's Lynn, Norwich and Great Yarmouth. We search for people who already know that trade.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
With the A11, the A47, the A17 and the ports at Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn serving the region, forwarders across Norfolk & the Fens often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
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 King's Lynn 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 approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
