This is a leading role within a complex supply chain structure; the right candidate will be an excellent team motivator who can successfully oversee planning functions both in the UK and overseas.

- Identify and screen domestic and foreign raw material and production suppliers, ensuring a continuous selection process to maintain performance levels.
- Review weekly planning reports to ensure continued best practice across the supply chain and logistics functions.
- Occasionally travel to foreign suppliers.
The right candidate should have:
- Experience of planning/demand forecasting in a high SKU or high volume supply chain.
- Working knowledge of international shipping/freight procedures (commodity codes, tariffs, etc).
- Advanced capabilities in Microsoft Excel.
- Remote coordination experience (particularly to the Middle and Far East).
- Knowledge of garments/clothing industry desirable.
- A strategic planning bias, able to understand complex supply chain and cost structures.
- A strong personality with the confidence to drive change and ensure performance targets.
In return, the successful candidate can expect:
- Huge growth potential with possible board appointment options.
- £35’000 to £40'000 basic salary
- 10% individual annual bonus
- Company Shareholder Scheme (after 6 months)
- 28 days holiday
