London & the South East

A freight forwarding desk for Uxbridge

Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.

Uxbridge sits inside the UK's largest and most pressured logistics labour market, where last-mile, airfreight and grocery fulfilment compete hard for the same people. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.

A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.

The strongest forwarding candidates across London & the South East are usually already running desks for businesses such as urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • Imports, exports or cross-trade
  • The booking and customs systems in use
  • Salary, commission and bonus
