From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Stalybridge who know the paperwork and the customers.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Forwarding vacancies across the North West come from grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Businesses at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stalybridge 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.

For Stalybridge businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
