From analysts to heads of supply chain, we find permanent people in Luton who can model the numbers and change the operation.
Permanent supply chain hires should leave the plan better than they found it.
Supply chain employers across the East of England include container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
When the Luton market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.
Employers supplied from sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.
From junior analysts to supply chain directors.
We confirm which planning and ERP systems candidates use, so there is no hidden learning curve.
For a new planning function we can recruit the manager and the analysts together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
Indicative permanent salaries in Luton 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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
We arrange interviews and any case study, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty planning seat costs more than the advert: excess stock, missed sales and firefighting.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
