Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the North West.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Across the North West, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City. We search for people who already know that trade.
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 M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, forwarders across the North West often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Middleton 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.
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.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
