We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Redruth and the South West, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Redruth sits in the far South West, beyond the end of the M5 at Exeter, where the A30 and A38 carry the freight and distances change how operations are run. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
When the Redruth market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Across Devon & Cornwall, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
Indicative permanent salaries in Redruth run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Forwarding pay in the South West moves with mode, seniority and customs responsibility: customs specialists and branch managers usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
