Permanent supply chain analysts, planners and managers for businesses in Bristol, 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.
Bristol is the South West's distribution gateway — Avonmouth's deep-water port and the M4/M5 junction make it the natural hub for serving the West Country and South Wales. Across the South West, planning teams support operations at sites such as Avonmouth and Severnside, Western Approach and the M5 corridor.
We ask candidates which planning and ERP systems they have used, how they forecast and what they did when the forecast was wrong.
With the M5, M4 and M32, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury serving the region, supply chains across the South West often plan national flows as well as local ones.
Permanent supply chain roles matched to sector, systems and seniority.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
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 Bristol run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
If the offer looks light against the planning market, you hear it from us before any interviews. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
A permanent planner learns your products, your customers and your seasonality. That knowledge improves every forecast.
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.
