Permanent supply chain and planning recruitment across Devon & Cornwall.
The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.
Truro sits in the far South West, beyond the end of the M5 at Exeter, where the A30 and A38 carry the freight and distances change how operations are run. Across Devon & Cornwall, planning teams support operations at sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots.
Demand planning, supply planning, inventory and S&OP need different strengths. We recruit each role differently.
Across Devon & Cornwall, planners and analysts are hired by chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
Permanent supply chain roles, from analysts to heads of supply chain.
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 Truro run from around £32k for analysts up to £80k+ for heads of supply chain.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, bonus, flexibility and how much the business listens to its planners. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Sector, systems, planning cycle and the decision the new hire needs to improve.
Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list with notes on each candidate's sector, systems and results.
A planner who knows last year's forecast mistakes is far less likely to repeat them.
Planners who leave early often cite poor data, no influence or a manager who ignores the plan. We raise all three first.
