Buckinghamshire

Supply chain talent for Milton Keynes

Supply chain roles are judged on forecast accuracy, service levels and stock. We recruit people who move all three.

Milton Keynes sits on the M1 with some of the UK's largest distribution parks — Magna Park and Marston Gate — on its doorstep. Across Buckinghamshire, planning teams support operations at sites such as Magna Park Milton Keynes, the Marston Gate and Brogborough parks and the M1 corridor.

We ask candidates which planning and ERP systems they have used, how they forecast and what they did when the forecast was wrong.

The strongest supply chain candidates across Buckinghamshire are usually already planning for businesses such as Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
