The operators, clerks and managers who move Solihull freight door to door.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Solihull draws on the West Midlands' busy warehousing and national-distribution labour market, strung along the M6 and M42. Across the West Midlands, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections.
When the Solihull market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarders supporting sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
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 Solihull 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.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
