Freight forwarding recruitment for Lydney businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Across the South West, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Avonmouth and Severnside, the M5 corridor and the Western Approach parks. 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.
The strongest forwarding candidates across the South West are usually already running desks for businesses such as food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
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 Lydney run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
For Lydney businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
