We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Richmond upon Thames and London & the South East, 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.
Richmond upon Thames sits inside the UK's largest and most pressured logistics labour market, where last-mile, airfreight and grocery fulfilment compete hard for the same people. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Businesses at sites such as Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25 compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Richmond upon Thames run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
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.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
Many branch managers started as operators. We recruit for every step of that career.
