We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Penzance and the South West, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Freight across Devon & Cornwall moves through the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
When the Penzance market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Across Devon & Cornwall, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
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.
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 Penzance 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, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
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.
Many branch managers started as operators. We recruit for every step of that career.
