From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Swansea who know the paperwork and the customers.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Forwarding vacancies across Wales come from manufacturing and automotive supply chains, port logistics, retail DCs and national 3PLs. 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 the Bridgend and Llanelli manufacturing estates 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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
Indicative permanent salaries in Swansea 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, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
