Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Prudhoe businesses.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Forwarding vacancies across the North East come from automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
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 Prudhoe run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
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.
