Hiring a customs specialist in Thurso? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Forwarding employers across the Highlands & Islands include whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the A9 and A82 trunk routes and the northern ferry terminals are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
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 Thurso 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.
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.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
