From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Sutton Coldfield who know the paperwork and the customers.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Forwarding employers across the West Midlands include automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarding roles across the West Midlands support trade through the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections.
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 ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sutton Coldfield 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.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
Strong operators become account managers and branch managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the workload and the customers as they are.
