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

North West

Recruiting supply chain planners in Widnes

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

Supply chain vacancies across the North West come from grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders. Each needs planners who can balance service against cost.

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

Supply chain roles across the North West support operations at sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal.
