Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Swinton

We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Swinton and Yorkshire & the Humber, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.

Yorkshire

A freight forwarding desk for Swinton

We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.

Goods passing through sites such as the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.

A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.

With the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham serving the region, forwarders across Yorkshire often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
