Freight forwarding recruitment for Morpeth businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.

North East

Permanent forwarding managers for Morpeth

Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.

Goods passing through sites such as the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks 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 A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport serving the region, forwarders across the North East often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.

Positions we place

From clerks to branch managers

Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.

What sets the desk apart

A forwarding desk, not a generalist agency

Customer skills tested

Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.

Discreet approaches

Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.

A shortlist you can use

A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.

What the market pays

What forwarders and customs specialists earn in Morpeth

Indicative permanent salaries in Morpeth run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.

A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.

Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The main trade lanes
  • Imports, exports or cross-trade
  • The booking and customs systems in use
  • Customs declarations the role will handle
