South East

Worthing freight forwarding recruitment

Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.

Forwarding employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.

When the Worthing market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.

Businesses at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.
