From analysts to heads of supply chain, we find permanent people in Brentwood who can model the numbers and change the operation.
A planner who can build the model but cannot persuade the business rarely changes much. We test for both.
Brentwood sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. Across the East of England, planning teams support operations at sites such as the A1(M) and A421 corridors and the Bedfordshire distribution estates.
Demand planning, supply planning, inventory and S&OP need different strengths. We recruit each role differently.
Supply chain demand across the East of England follows container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution.
Planning, inventory, analytics and S&OP roles.
We ask candidates what happened to forecast accuracy, stock and service on their watch before we talk about their notice period.
We confirm which planning and ERP systems candidates use, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
Indicative permanent salaries in Brentwood run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Heads of supply chain earn well above planners. FMCG and retail often pay more than smaller manufacturers. 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.
An empty planning seat costs more than the advert: excess stock, missed sales and firefighting.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
