Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Moffat

Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Moffat.

Customs and forwarding hiring across Moffat

Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.

Goods passing through sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.

A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.

The strongest forwarding candidates across southern Scotland are usually already running desks for businesses such as Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs.
