Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Lambeth.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Freight across London & the South East moves through the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
When the Lambeth market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Across London & the South East, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
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.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lambeth run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Branch managers earn well above clerks. Customs expertise commands a premium at every level. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
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.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
