Hiring a customs specialist in Mayfair? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Goods passing through sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury serving the region, forwarders across London & the South East 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.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Mayfair run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
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.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
