Permanent supply chain and planning recruitment across the East Midlands.
Good supply chain people make the rest of the operation calmer. That is what we recruit for.
Goods across the East Midlands move through the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Planners who understand that network plan with fewer surprises.
Demand planning, supply planning, inventory and S&OP need different strengths. We recruit each role differently.
Employers supplied from sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1 compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.
From junior analysts to supply chain directors.
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.
For a new planning function we can recruit the manager and the analysts together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Gainsborough 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.
Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any case study, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.
A planner who knows last year's forecast mistakes is far less likely to repeat them.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.

Yes. We can recruit a manager and analysts together, with start dates staggered if that helps the handover.
Yes. For senior roles we run a discreet search and approach people who are not on the market.
Clean data, real influence, sensible hybrid terms and pay in line with the market.
