Supply Chain Recruitment in Kirkby

The analysts and planners who turn Kirkby supply chain data into better decisions.

North West

Demand and supply planners in Kirkby

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

Goods across the North West move through the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Planners who understand that network plan with fewer surprises.

Hybrid working matters to many planners. We confirm the pattern you can offer before we start the search.

Planners supporting sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal are often approached directly rather than through adverts.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened on real planning results

Planning results first

Influence tested

Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.

How it works

How we find the planner

The search

Technical screen

Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.

References that matter

Your brief

Setting up the search

An empty planning seat costs more than the advert: excess stock, missed sales and firefighting.

Senior planning roles often carry long notice periods, so we plan the timeline from the first call.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The sector and the products planned
  • Office, site and hybrid working pattern
  • Salary, bonus and benefits
  • Your interview process and any case study
