Hiring a customs specialist in Runcorn? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Freight across the North West moves through the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
Across the North West, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
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.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Runcorn run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
