Supply Chain Recruitment in Torquay

Supply chain recruitment for Torquay employers who need planning that holds up when demand moves.

Devon & Cornwall

Permanent supply chain managers for Torquay

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

Across Devon & Cornwall, supply chain roles often sit alongside operations at sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks. We search for planners who know that environment.

A planner who leaves after a few months takes the model, the history and the relationships with them.

The strongest supply chain candidates across Devon & Cornwall are usually already planning for businesses such as food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.

Positions we place

From analysts to heads of supply chain

Supply chain roles for retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce.

What sets the desk apart

A supply chain desk, not a generalist agency

Matched to your sector

Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.

Hybrid terms agreed early

Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

An empty planning seat costs more than the advert: excess stock, missed sales and firefighting.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The planning cycle and who attends S&OP
  • The ERP and planning systems in use
  • Inventory value and stock targets
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
