The operators, clerks and managers who move Widnes freight door to door.
Customs errors are expensive. We recruit people who get the declaration right first time.
Forwarding vacancies across the North West come from grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
When the Widnes market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarding roles across the North West support trade through the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Widnes run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Strong operators become account managers and branch managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
