Recruiting forwarders in Peacehaven

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

Forwarding vacancies across the South East come from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.

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

Forwarding roles across the South East support trade through the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover.
