Demand and supply planners in Newton Abbot

Every supply chain candidate we put forward is screened on the plans they owned and the results that followed.

Newton Abbot sits in the far South West, beyond the end of the M5 at Exeter, where the A30 and A38 carry the freight and distances change how operations are run. Across Devon & Cornwall, planning teams support operations at sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates.

A supply chain offer competes with retailers, manufacturers and consultancies. We help set salary and bonus so it lands first time.

Across Devon & Cornwall, planners and analysts are hired by chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
