Supply Chain Recruitment in Guildford

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

South East

Guildford supply chain recruitment

Supply chain roles are judged on forecast accuracy, service levels and stock. We recruit people who move all three.

Supply chain vacancies across the South East come from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each needs planners who can balance service against cost.

When the Guildford market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.

Supply chain roles across the South East support operations at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports.
