Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Windsor

We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Windsor and the South East, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.

South East

A freight forwarding desk for Windsor

Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.

Forwarding employers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.

When the Windsor market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.

Forwarding roles across the South East support trade through the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover.
