East of England

Recruiting supply chain planners in Royston

Good supply chain people make the rest of the operation calmer. That is what we recruit for.

Royston sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. Across the East of England, planning teams support operations at sites such as Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — the A14 freight corridor and the parks along the M11 and A1(M).

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

Supply chain demand across the East of England follows container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution.
