Air Freight Forwarder – Imports
Location: Solihull, UK
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Sector: Logistics & Freight
Award-Winning UK Logistics Company (Great Place to Work 2024)

I’m currently recruiting on behalf of a leading, UK-wide logistics company that continues to experience exceptional growth across its multiple sites. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Air Freight Imports Coordinator to join a well-established team at their Solihull site.

The business was proudly awarded “Great Place to Work” status in October 2024-something they’ve worked hard to achieve by fostering a genuinely supportive, forward-thinking, and people-first culture.

The Opportunity:

As an Air Freight Imports Coordinator, you’ll play a crucial role in managing the day-to-day coordination of air import shipments. From customs clearance to client communication, you’ll be working in a fast-paced, professional environment where attention to detail and great service matter.

Responsibilities Include:

• Coordinating end-to-end air import shipments from origin to delivery
• Managing customs clearance documentation and ensuring full HMRC compliance
• Liaising with overseas agents, airlines, and internal teams
• Providing regular client updates and maintaining service standards
• Proactively resolving any delays or shipment issues
• Keeping accurate records and data within internal freight systems

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Solid experience in air freight imports is essential
• Strong understanding of UK customs procedures and documentation
• Comfortable handling fast-paced logistics operations
• Proficient communicator and confident liaising with global partners
• Familiarity with freight systems such as ASM or CargoWise (preferred)

Why This Role Stands Out:

This company not only offers stability and clear progression, but also a package of perks that goes far beyond the basics:

• Twice-Yearly Bonus Scheme
• 22-25 Days Holiday (depending on service)
• Health Care Cash Plan
• Retail Discounter Cash Plan
• Two Monthly Employee Awards
• Free On-Site Electric Vehicle Charging
• Fully Paid Annual Summer and Christmas Company Events
• Regular Team Socials
• Quarterly Anonymous Employee Engagement Surveys – Influence workplace improvements
• “Great Place to Work” Accreditation
