From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Wick who know the paperwork and the customers.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Freight across the Highlands & Islands moves through the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
Forwarding demand across the Highlands & Islands follows distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.

We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
For Wick businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
