We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Kirkcaldy and Scotland, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Operations near Kirkcaldy run on the A9, A90 and M90, feeding Dundee's port, Fife's distribution parks and the region's manufacturers. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
When the Kirkcaldy market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
With the A90, M90 and A9, the Port of Dundee and Rosyth serving the region, forwarders across Tayside & Fife often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
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.
