From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Yeovil who know the paperwork and the customers.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Yeovil draws on the South West's distribution and port-logistics base, concentrated around the M5 corridor. Across the South West, forwarders serve importers and exporters shipping through the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Forwarding demand across the South West follows port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Yeovil run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
