Planners who protect service levels and working capital at the same time, recruited for Acton businesses.
We look for people who have planned in your sector: retail, FMCG, manufacturing or e-commerce.
As part of Greater London, Acton draws on one of the country's deepest — and most fought-over — pools of logistics and supply chain talent. Across London & the South East, planning teams support operations at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt.
Hybrid working matters to many planners. We confirm the pattern you can offer before we start the search.
The strongest supply chain candidates across London & the South East are usually already planning for businesses such as urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
Indicative permanent salaries in Acton run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Supply chain pay in London & the South East moves with seniority, sector and scope: planners who own S&OP or large inventories usually earn more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
Contract cover suits a short project. A permanent hire is the answer when the business needs someone to own the plan.
When a planning role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the systems or the scope is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
