Supply Chain Recruitment in Cambridge

We recruit demand planners, supply planners and S&OP leads for Cambridge and the East of England, screened on the forecasts and plans they have owned.

East of England

Cambridge supply chain recruitment

Good supply chain people make the rest of the operation calmer. That is what we recruit for.

Supply chain vacancies across the East of England come from port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs planners who can balance service against cost.

Demand planning, supply planning, inventory and S&OP need different strengths. We recruit each role differently.

Supply chain roles across the East of England support operations at sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks.
