Permanent supply chain and planning recruitment across the South East.

South East

A supply chain recruitment desk for Winchester

The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.

Winchester sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. We recruit the analysts and planners who keep those supply chains balanced.

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

Supply chain demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.

Roles on our desk

Supply chain and planning roles

From junior analysts to supply chain directors.

What you can expect

Planners who stay and improve the plan

Influence tested

Good planners change decisions. We ask for examples of decisions they changed and what it took.

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.

What good planners cost

What supply chain professionals earn in Winchester

How it works

Our process, step by step

Technical screen

Forecasting method, systems, data skills and right to work checked before the first interview.

References that matter

We ask referees about the planner's results and influence, not just dates.

The offer

We help settle salary, hybrid terms and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

Planning improves with continuity. Frequent changes in the team show up in stock and service.

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
  • Salary, bonus and benefits
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
