The operators, clerks and managers who move Peterborough freight door to door.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Forwarding employers across Cambridgeshire include container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
When the Peterborough market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarding roles across Cambridgeshire support trade through the A1(M), A14 and East Coast Main Line, with Stansted and the Port of Felixstowe within reach.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Peterborough run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the workload and the customers as they are.
