Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the East Midlands.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Stamford sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. Across the East Midlands, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal.
A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.
Businesses at sites such as the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stamford run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
