The operators, clerks and managers who move Witham freight door to door.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Witham draws on the East of England's port, forwarding and customs talent, concentrated along the A14 and M11. Across the East of England, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarding demand across the East of England follows port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Witham run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
