Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the East Midlands.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Market Harborough draws on the East Midlands' deep warehousing and distribution labour market, centred on the M1 and A14. Across the East Midlands, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal.
A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.
Forwarding demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Market Harborough run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. 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.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
