Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Wantage

Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Wantage businesses.

South East

Permanent forwarding managers for Wantage

Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.

Across the South East, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates. We search for people who already know that trade.

We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.

Across the South East, forwarders and customs specialists are hired by grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.

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

Systems experience

A shortlist you can use

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

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.

What forwarders and customs specialists earn in Wantage
