Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Macclesfield

We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Macclesfield and the North West, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.

North West

A freight forwarding desk for Macclesfield

We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.

Goods passing through sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.

A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.

With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, forwarders across the North West often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
