About the Role

An established and fast-growing freight forwarding company is looking for a Pricing / Commercial Executive to join their expanding team. This is a hands-on role where you’ll be responsible for handling customer quotation requests, building relationships with clients and suppliers, and ensuring pricing is both competitive and accurate across air, ocean and road freight services.

  • Chasing responses and keeping quotations moving through the pipeline
  • Comparing different options to ensure the most competitive offering is presented
  • Keeping records up to date and ensuring all pricing activity is well organised
  • Working closely with internal teams to support smooth operational flow
  • Helping improve ways of working and making processes more efficient where possible

Day-to-Day Activity

  • Reviewing new quote requests as they come in
  • Contacting suppliers by phone and email for up-to-date pricing
  • Following up regularly to avoid delays in responses
  • Analysing multiple rate options and selecting the best fit
  • Preparing clear and accurate customer quotations

What We’re Looking For

  • Around 1–2 years’ experience in freight forwarding, logistics or supply chain
  • Some exposure to pricing, quotations, or operational freight work
  • Knowledge of air and ocean freight is essential (road freight is a bonus)
  • Confident communicator who is comfortable dealing with customers and suppliers
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy with numbers and documentation
  • Well organised with the ability to manage multiple tasks at once
  • Proactive attitude with good follow-up discipline
  • Comfortable working both independently and within a small team
  • Microsoft Office skills and experience with freight systems would be useful

What’s on Offer

  • £30,000 – £35,000 salary depending on experience
  • Annual leave starting at 21 days plus bank holidays, increasing with service
  • Onsite perks including gym access and local discounts
  • Clear progression opportunities as the team grows, including potential future leadership roles
  • Supportive, sociable working environment with regular team events
  • A business in growth mode, offering real long-term development rather than a static role

Additional Info
