Freight Forwarding Recruitment across Manchester

As a specialist permanent freight forwarding recruiter, we place the forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers who move international freight door to door across Manchester and the North West.

We recruit throughout Greater Manchester — from Trafford Park (one of Europe's largest industrial estates), Omega in Warrington and Airport City — for businesses connected by the M60, M62 and M6, Manchester Airport and the Manchester Ship Canal. Typical employers we partner with include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
