Freight forwarding recruitment for Tetbury businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Logistics around Tetbury is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Across the South West, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Across the South West, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tetbury 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.
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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
