Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across Merseyside.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Liverpool's port and the deep-water Liverpool2 terminal make Merseyside a major gateway for transatlantic and Irish Sea container traffic — and a fast-growing base for forwarding and warehousing. Across Merseyside, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M57, M58, M62 and M6, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the Port of Liverpool.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
The strongest forwarding candidates across Merseyside are usually already running desks for businesses such as retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Liverpool run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
