Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Otley.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
From rail-connected freight at iPort to Humber port handling, employers around Otley compete for experienced permanent logistics people. Across Yorkshire, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Businesses at sites such as iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the distribution parks along the M62 and M1 compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
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.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Otley run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
