I'm Hiring I'm Looking for WorkSupply chain & logistics talent across Northwich
Northwich sits at the heart of a mid-Cheshire distribution corridor, with the Winsford and Gadbrook estates and easy reach of the motorway network making it a natural home for warehousing, logistics and manufacturing supply chains. When the supply chain works, product moves and customers stay happy; when a key role sits empty, the cost shows up fast.
Howard James Recruitment places supply chain and logistics professionals with Northwich employers across the full chain, from procurement and planning to warehouse management, stock control and transport. We understand the disciplines, the systems and the pace these roles run at. Strong supply chain people are usually keeping someone else's operation moving, not browsing job boards — we reach them through our network and represent your role properly.
We screen for systems and pace
A gap in the supply chain is felt across the whole operation. We screen for the systems knowledge — ERP, WMS, planning tools — and the problem-solving these roles need.
Supply chain runs fast and unforgiving. We look for people who can keep up and keep their head when things go sideways, so the people you meet can keep things moving from day one.
