Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Lanark

Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Lanark.

Scotland

Customs and forwarding hiring across Lanark

We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.

Across Scotland, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse along the M8 plus the Grangemouth port and refinery complex. We search for people who already know that trade.

A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.

Forwarding demand across Scotland follows grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.
