Hiring a customs specialist in Wisbech? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Forwarding employers across Norfolk & the Fens include agri-food and vegetable processing, cold storage, offshore wind and southern North Sea energy logistics and regional 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
With the A11, the A47, the A17 and the ports at Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn serving the region, forwarders across Norfolk & the Fens often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.

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.
