Supply chain recruitment for Ashford employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.
Supply chain roles are judged on forecast accuracy, service levels and stock. We recruit people who move all three.
Logistics operations around Ashford serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. Across the South East, planning teams support operations at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports.
Hybrid working matters to many planners. We confirm the pattern you can offer before we start the search.
The strongest supply chain candidates across the South East are usually already planning for businesses such as Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.
We ask candidates what happened to forecast accuracy, stock and service on their watch before we talk about their notice period.
Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
