From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Marlborough who know the paperwork and the customers.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Marlborough sits in the South West, where the M4/M5 junction and the Avonmouth deep-water port make the region the gateway to the West Country and South Wales. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
When the Marlborough market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside estates are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Marlborough run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Branch managers earn well above clerks. Customs expertise commands a premium at every level. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
