Supply Chain & Procurement Recruitment | UK Food Manufacturing

Connecting food, beverage, and FMCG manufacturers with agile procurement, logistics, and planning talent across the UK.

Overview:

Headquartered in Edinburgh and operating across the UK, we partner with independent processors and multi-site food groups throughout major distribution corridors, including the Midlands, Yorkshire, the North West, and Central Scotland. Managing short-shelf-life goods, cold-chain operations, and volatile commodity pricing demands sharp planning, and we secure professionals who optimise stock turnover, eliminate bottlenecks, and build resilient supplier partnerships.

 

Our Recruitment Approach:

  • Targeted Search: We proactively map and headhunt experienced supply chain professionals across the UK rather than waiting for job applicants.

  • Commercial Vetting: We assess candidates on ERP systems expertise, S&OP implementation, cost-reduction records, and supplier contract negotiations.

  • End-to-End Support: We manage confidential briefings, candidate shortlists, and final package negotiations to ensure a seamless placement.

Key Roles We Place:

  • Supply Chain Directors & Supply Chain Managers

  • Procurement Managers (Raw Materials, Ingredients, Packaging, Indirects)

  • Demand Planners, Supply Planners & S&OP Leads

  • Warehouse & Logistics Managers (Ambient, Chilled, Frozen)

  • Materials Planners & Inventory Controllers

  • Category Buyers & Agricultural Sourcing Specialists
