The operators, clerks and managers who move Merthyr Tydfil freight door to door.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Merthyr Tydfil draws on Wales' port, manufacturing and distribution talent. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
The strongest forwarding candidates across Wales are usually already running desks for businesses such as port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Merthyr Tydfil run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
