We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Stourbridge and the West Midlands, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Across the West Midlands, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54. We search for people who already know that trade.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarding demand across the West Midlands follows national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.

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 permanent forwarder builds relationships with your customers and carriers. That value grows with every shipment.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
