Hiring supply chain people for good in Shepton Mallet

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

Logistics around Shepton Mallet is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Across the South West, planning teams support operations at sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country.

When the Shepton Mallet market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.

The strongest supply chain candidates across the South West are usually already planning for businesses such as food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers.
