Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Wrexham

We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Wrexham and Wales, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.

North Wales

Wrexham freight forwarding recruitment

We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.

Wrexham sits in North Wales, where the A55 expressway and the port of Holyhead carry the freight — not the M4 and the South Wales docks. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.

Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.

Forwarding demand across North Wales follows manufacturing supply chains, port and ferry logistics, agri-food distribution and cross-border hauliers.
