Permanent supply chain and planning recruitment across the Highlands & Islands.
The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.
Supply chain employers across the Highlands & Islands include distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
Hybrid working matters to many planners. We confirm the pattern you can offer before we start the search.
Employers supplied from sites such as Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports 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.
We confirm which planning and ERP systems candidates use, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lochgilphead 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 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.
Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
