Hiring a customs specialist in Preston? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Forwarding employers across the North West include grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool serving the region, forwarders across the North West often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.

Indicative permanent salaries in Preston run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Forwarding pay in the North West moves with mode, seniority and customs responsibility: customs specialists and branch managers usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
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.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
