Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Lymington

South East

Hiring forwarding people for good in Lymington

Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.

Forwarding employers across the South East include Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.

Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.

With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover serving the region, forwarders across the South East often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
