Freight forwarding recruitment for Newport (Shropshire) businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Forwarding employers across the West Midlands include automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
With the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections serving the region, forwarders across the West Midlands often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Newport (Shropshire) run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.

Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.

Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
