The operators, clerks and managers who move London freight door to door.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Forwarding employers across London & the South East include e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
Forwarding roles across London & the South East support trade through the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
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 London run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.

Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
For London businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
