We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Nantwich and the North West, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Forwarding employers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
When the Nantwich market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Businesses at sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Nantwich run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Branch managers earn well above clerks. Customs expertise commands a premium at every level. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
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.
Strong operators become account managers and branch managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
