Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Twickenham.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Across London & the South East, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt. We search for people who already know that trade.
A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.
With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury serving the region, forwarders across London & the South East often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
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 Twickenham 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.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
For Twickenham businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
