Mergers & Acquisitions
Planning (including demand planning, supply planning, materials planning, and S&OP and IBP)
Manufacturing / Production
Warehousing, logistics, distribution and fulfilment
We support and advise you by identifying, attracting, and hiring skilled professionals to manage and optimise various aspects of the supply chain, from procurement, IBP/S&OP, production operations, demand and supply planning, and logistics to inventory management and distribution.
We also have significant expertise and interest in the more technical disciplines across production and engineering, including leadership roles in engineering, projects, quality, and health & safety.
Our Tailored Approach
We are a partner-led professional search consultancy, which means you work directly with experienced search professionals, or headhunters, who understand the realities of recruiting into operational and industrial environments. We take time to understand your business, your structure, your culture and the specific challenges behind the appointment, whether that is growth, succession, transformation, performance improvement, or the need to bring in new capability.
Our approach is search-led, discreet and thorough. We map the market, identify relevant talent across local, national and, where appropriate, international networks, and approach potential candidates with care and credibility.
We also look beyond the obvious, recognising transferable skills, leadership potential and the difference the right person could make in your specific setting. We know that effective recruitment in supply chain and procurement involves not only technical skills but also strong problem-solving, communication, leadership, and adaptability to rapidly changing market conditions.
Built on Relationships
We understand the cost of a poor appointment: lost time, stalled projects, operational pressure and disruption for senior teams. Our role is to manage the process with diligence and judgement, giving you the confidence that the search is being handled properly from the outset.
If you are struggling to recruit into a senior supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, operations or engineering role, we would be pleased to discuss how Stephenson Stappard can help you find the right person to move the business forward.
