We recruit demand planners, supply planners and S&OP leads for Penrith and the North West, screened on the forecasts and plans they have owned.
Every supply chain candidate we put forward is screened on the plans they owned and the results that followed.
Supply chain employers across Cumbria include chilled food distribution, defence and marine manufacturing, energy supply chains and Anglo-Scottish trunking operators. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.
When the Penrith market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.
Supply chain roles across Cumbria support operations at sites such as the Barrow-in-Furness shipyard and marine supply estates.
Planning, inventory, analytics and S&OP roles.
We ask candidates what happened to forecast accuracy, stock and service on their watch before we talk about their notice period.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
For a new planning function we can recruit the manager and the analysts together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Penrith run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.
We help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
For Penrith businesses planning growth, the right permanent planner protects cash as well as service.
Strong planners value clean data, a seat at the S&OP table and a manager who acts on the numbers.
