Job Type: Permanent, FullTime

Salary: £50,000 - £65,000 per annum

We are seeking an experienced Branch Manager to lead the continued growth and development of our client. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially driven professional with a background in freight forwarding who thrives on winning new business, managing key accounts, and taking full ownership of branch performance.

Key Responsibilities
  • Drive and lead all sales activity for the London branch
  • Identify and develop new business opportunities across the UK and international markets
  • Manage, retain, and grow a portfolio of key customer accounts
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with customers, agents, airlines, and suppliers
  • Prepare quotations, follow up on leads, and convert opportunities into revenue
  • Maintain a healthy sales pipeline and consistently achieve agreed targets
  • Collaborate closely with operations to ensure solutions are efficient and deliverable
  • Represent the business professionally within the local market

This is a hands-on, sales-focused leadership role, requiring direct involvement in client meetings, negotiations, and business development activity.

About You
  • Proven experience within freight forwarding or logistics (airfreight experience preferred)
  • Strong track record in sales, business development, or account management
  • Results-driven with a proven ability to grow revenue and retain clients
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • Highly organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities
  • Experience handling dangerous goods or regulated freight is advantageous

Previous branch management experience is beneficial but not essential. We welcome applications from senior sales professionals ready to step into a leadership role.

What We Offer
  • A specialist freight business (not general cargo)
  • An established London branch supported by a global network
  • Autonomy and ownership within your role
  • Long-term career progression opportunities
  • Monday to Friday working schedule
