Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Mitcham.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Logistics employers around Mitcham compete in the UK's tightest labour market, where retaining permanent talent matters as much as hiring it. Across London & the South East, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury.
When the Mitcham market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Businesses at sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
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.
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 Mitcham run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Forwarding pay in London & the South East moves with mode, seniority and customs responsibility: customs specialists and branch managers usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
