From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Macduff who know the paperwork and the customers.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Forwarding vacancies across North East Scotland come from energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.
Businesses at sites such as the A90 corridor, Dyce and the Bridge of Don industrial estates compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
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 Macduff 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.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
