Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Scunthorpe businesses.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Across the East Midlands, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport. We search for people who already know that trade.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
Forwarding demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
Indicative permanent salaries in Scunthorpe run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
