From analysts to heads of supply chain, we find permanent people in Melksham who can model the numbers and change the operation.
The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.
Supply chain employers across the South West include port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
Building a planning team from scratch? We can recruit the analysts and the manager together so the cycle runs from month one.
Supply chain roles across the South West support operations at sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country.
Permanent supply chain roles, from analysts to heads of supply chain.
We ask candidates what happened to forecast accuracy, stock and service on their watch before we talk about their notice period.
Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.
Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
Indicative permanent salaries in Melksham 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.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
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.
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.
