Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Rhyl

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

North Wales

Permanent forwarding managers for Rhyl

A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.

Across North Wales, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Deeside Industrial Park and the A55 corridor. We search for people who already know that trade.

When the Rhyl market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.

Forwarding demand across North Wales follows advanced manufacturing and aerospace, Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, food processing and regional 3PLs.

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

Systems experience

We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.

Customer skills tested

Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.

New desks and branches

For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.

What the market pays

What forwarders and customs specialists earn in Rhyl

Indicative permanent salaries in Rhyl run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.

Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The brief

Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.

The search

We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.

Technical screen

Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.

When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The modes: air, sea, road or all three
  • The main trade lanes
  • The booking and customs systems in use
  • Your interview process and any technical test
