Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the South East.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Tunbridge Wells draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
When the Tunbridge Wells market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Businesses at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
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.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tunbridge Wells run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Branch managers earn well above clerks. Customs expertise commands a premium at every level. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
