We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Southwark and London & the South East, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Across London & the South East, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots. We search for people who already know that trade.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Across London & the South East, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs.
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.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Southwark run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. 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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
For Southwark businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
