Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the West Midlands.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Freight across the West Midlands moves through the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Forwarders supporting sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Shrewsbury 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 stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
