Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Witney

Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the South East.

South East

Witney freight forwarding recruitment

Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.

Goods passing through sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.

A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.

The strongest forwarding candidates across the South East are usually already running desks for businesses such as grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.
