Hiring a customs specialist in Malvern? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Forwarding vacancies across the West Midlands come from automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
With the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections serving the region, forwarders across the West Midlands often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
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.
