Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Saffron Walden.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Across the East of England, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the A14 and A11 corridors, the Port of Felixstowe and Stansted airfreight. We search for people who already know that trade.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Forwarding demand across the East of England follows port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Saffron Walden run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
