Supply chain recruitment for Exeter employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.
Permanent supply chain hires should leave the plan better than they found it.
Supply chain employers across Devon & Cornwall include food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
Building a planning team from scratch? We can recruit the analysts and the manager together so the cycle runs from month one.
With the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth serving the region, supply chains across Devon & Cornwall often plan national flows as well as local ones.
Supply chain roles for retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce.
Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.
Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
A short list with notes on sector, systems and the results each candidate delivered.
Indicative permanent salaries in Exeter 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.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
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.
Strong analysts become planners and planners become managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.
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.
