Branch Manager - Southampton | Global Freight Forwarder

Location: Southampton

Salary: 50,000 - 60,000 (Negotiable) + Bonus Scheme

Company Car or Car Allowance + Fuel Card

Phone & Laptop | Private Health | Death in Service Policy

Hours: Monday-Friday | 9am-5pm

I'm currently recruiting on behalf of a global freight forwarder that's looking for a dynamic and commercially driven Branch Manager to lead its Southampton office.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced freight forwarding BDM ready to take the next step into branch leadership, an established Branch Manager looking for a new challenge, or a strong Supervisor who's ready to step up into a senior position.

What They're Looking For:

  • Solid experience within freight forwarding (import/export, multi-modal ideally)

  • Strong business development background and a track record of winning new clients

  • Commercial acumen and the ability to lead both sales and operational activities

  • A hands-on leadership style with a passion for team development and branch growth

  • Someone comfortable working in a small but growing branch with exciting plans ahead

The successful candidate will be expected to drive both sales and day-to-day operations. While the company plans to hire a dedicated BDM in the near future, you'll initially be the main commercial lead for the branch - playing a key part in laying the groundwork for its continued expansion.

Package & Benefits Include:

  • Salary: 50,000 - 60,000 (depending on experience)

  • Bonus Scheme (Branch Manager level)

  • Company Car or Car Allowance

  • Fuel Card (for petrol/diesel vehicles)

  • Private Healthcare

  • Laptop & Mobile Phone

  • 22 Days Holiday (rising with service)

  • Death in Service Policy

  • Standard Hours: Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm

If you're an ambitious freight forwarding professional ready to lead and grow a key branch within a global business, I'd love to speak with you.
