Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Thame businesses.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Logistics operations around Thame serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
The strongest forwarding candidates across the South East are usually already running desks for businesses such as Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Thame 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.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.
