Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Redditch 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.
Goods passing through sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
With the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections serving the region, forwarders across the West Midlands often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.

Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

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.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
