Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Redcar

Freight forwarding recruitment for Redcar businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.

Tees Valley

Permanent forwarding managers for Redcar

Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.

Goods passing through sites such as Teesport and the Teesside Freeport estates depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.

A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.

Forwarding roles across the Tees Valley support trade through the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport.

Positions we place

From clerks to branch managers

The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.

What sets the desk apart

A forwarding desk, not a generalist agency

Modes and lanes matched

Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.

Discreet approaches

Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.

A shortlist you can use
