The operators, clerks and managers who move Pontypool freight door to door.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Pontypool sits in Wales, where the M4 corridor, the ABP ports and a strong manufacturing base anchor the logistics labour market. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Businesses at sites such as the Bridgend and Llanelli manufacturing estates compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Pontypool run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
