Supply Chain Recruitment in Wakefield

The analysts and planners who turn Wakefield supply chain data into better decisions.

Yorkshire

Demand and supply planners in Wakefield

A planner who can build the model but cannot persuade the business rarely changes much. We test for both.

Wakefield sits in Yorkshire's M62 logistics belt — a magnet for retail and e-commerce distribution serving the whole of the North of England. Across Yorkshire, planning teams support operations at sites such as iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the distribution parks along the M62 and M1.

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 Yorkshire follows retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics.

Your brief

Setting up the search

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

Many supply chain managers started as analysts. We recruit for every step of that career.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The planning cycle and who attends S&OP
  • The ERP and planning systems in use
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
