Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Wokingham

Freight forwarding recruitment for Wokingham businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.

South East

Forwarding talent for Wokingham

A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.

Across the South East, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow. We search for people who already know that trade.

Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.

Forwarding demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.

Many branch managers started as operators. We recruit for every step of that career.

  • Imports, exports or cross-trade
  • The main gap the new hire should fill
  • Your interview process and any technical test
