From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Salisbury who know the paperwork and the customers.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Salisbury sits in the South West, where the M4/M5 junction and the Avonmouth deep-water port make the region the gateway to the West Country and South Wales. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarding demand across the South West follows grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Salisbury 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.
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.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
For Salisbury businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
