Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Woking

Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Woking.

South East

Customs and forwarding hiring across Woking

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

Across the South East, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick. We search for people who already know that trade.

A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.

Forwarding demand across the South East follows grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.
