The operators, clerks and managers who move Lichfield freight door to door.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Freight across the West Midlands moves through the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Across the West Midlands, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
