We recruit demand planners, supply planners and S&OP leads for Redbridge and London & the South East, screened on the forecasts and plans they have owned.
A planner who can build the model but cannot persuade the business rarely changes much. We test for both.
Goods across London & the South East move through the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Planners who understand that network plan with fewer surprises.
When the Redbridge market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.
Planners supporting sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots are often approached directly rather than through adverts.
From junior analysts to supply chain directors.
Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.
We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
Indicative permanent salaries in Redbridge 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.
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.
Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.
When a planning role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the systems or the scope is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
