Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across southern Scotland.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Stranraer sits in southern Scotland, on the A74(M) and A75 routes that carry Anglo-Scottish and Irish Sea freight rather than Central Belt distribution traffic. Across southern Scotland, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals.
When the Stranraer market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Across southern Scotland, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
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.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Stranraer run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. 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.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
