Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the Highlands & Islands.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Goods passing through sites such as Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports 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 Highlands & Islands follows distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kingussie run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
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.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
