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
