Supply Chain Recruitment in Cardiff

Planners who protect service levels and working capital at the same time, recruited for Cardiff businesses.

South Wales

Supply chain talent for Cardiff

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

Cardiff is Wales' capital and largest logistics market, served by the M4 corridor and the ABP ports at Cardiff and Newport. Across South Wales, planning teams support operations at sites such as the Cardiff and Newport ABP ports, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor parks.

A supply chain offer competes with retailers, manufacturers and consultancies. We help set salary and bonus so it lands first time.

The strongest supply chain candidates across South Wales are usually already planning for businesses such as steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The sector and the products planned
  • Salary, bonus and benefits
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any case study
