The operators, clerks and managers who move Kirkby freight door to door.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Freight across the North West moves through the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kirkby run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
