Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in March.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Goods passing through sites such as King's Lynn and the Fenland agri-food and cold-storage estates depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
With the A11, the A47, the A17 and the ports at Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn serving the region, forwarders across Norfolk & the Fens often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.

Indicative permanent salaries in March 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.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.

We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
