Permanent supply chain analysts, planners and managers for businesses in Bridgwater, recruited for the decisions they can make, not just the reports they can run.
A planner who can build the model but cannot persuade the business rarely changes much. We test for both.
Logistics around Bridgwater is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. We recruit the analysts and planners who keep those supply chains balanced.
Demand planning, supply planning, inventory and S&OP need different strengths. We recruit each role differently.
Planners supporting sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 are often approached directly rather than through adverts.
The people who forecast demand and the people who plan supply.
Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.
For a new planning function we can recruit the manager and the analysts together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bridgwater run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
We benchmark against live offers for similar planning roles, not historic salary data. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
We help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.
Strong planners value clean data, a seat at the S&OP table and a manager who acts on the numbers.
