Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Uddingston

Freight forwarding recruitment for Uddingston businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.

Scotland

Permanent forwarding managers for Uddingston

We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.

Freight across Scotland moves through the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.

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 M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.

Positions we place

From clerks to branch managers

Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.

What sets the desk apart

A forwarding desk, not a generalist agency

Customs experience checked

A shortlist you can use

A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.

New desks and branches

For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.

What the market pays

What forwarders and customs specialists earn in Uddingston

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The search

We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.

The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.

Interviews

We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.

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.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The modes: air, sea, road or all three
  • The main trade lanes
  • The booking and customs systems in use
  • The main gap the new hire should fill
