Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.

Forwarding vacancies across North East Scotland come from energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.

Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.

Businesses at sites such as the A90 corridor, Dyce and the Bridge of Don industrial estates compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
