From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Washington who know the paperwork and the customers.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Forwarding vacancies across the North East come from automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarding roles across the North East support trade through the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Washington run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
