The operators, clerks and managers who move Wakefield freight door to door.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Goods passing through sites such as iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the distribution parks along the M62 and M1 depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Across Yorkshire, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wakefield 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.
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 ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
