We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Uttoxeter and the East Midlands, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Forwarding vacancies across the East Midlands come from national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Forwarding roles across the East Midlands support trade through the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Uttoxeter run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Forwarding pay in the East Midlands moves with mode, seniority and customs responsibility: customs specialists and branch managers usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
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.
