North West

A supply chain recruitment desk for Macclesfield

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

Supply chain vacancies across the North West come from port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics. Each needs planners who can balance service against cost.

A planner who leaves after a few months takes the model, the history and the relationships with them.

Employers supplied from sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The search

We approach analysts and planners directly, including the ones who are not looking.

Interviews and case studies

We arrange interviews and any case study, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Settling in

We stay in touch through the first planning cycles and help resolve anything that comes up.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.

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

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The planning cycle and who attends S&OP
  • Inventory value and stock targets
  • Office, site and hybrid working pattern
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
