Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Leyland.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Goods passing through sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, forwarders across the North West often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Leyland run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
