The company
From our sites in Lincoln, Scotland and the Southwest, we supply some of the largest retail, wholesale and food manufacturing customers in the UK.
Our expertise goes much further than just supply and demand. We offer our customers real innovation, whether developing new potato varieties, packaging solutions or cutting-edge processes.

* Review capacity models to ensure forecasted volumes do not pose a risk to supply
* Work closely with procurement and production teams to avoid shortages or overstocks
* Build relationships with customer teams to develop collaborative forecasting across businesses
* Use analysis to inform and support commercial forecasts for costings
* Undertake deeper analysis of forecasts to suggest potential opportunities or risks to the business
* Develop and maintain reports for relevant KPIs as required
* Undertake any other reasonable duties as required to support the smooth operation of the production and planning function
* Lead, coach, and develop a small team, embedding best practices and driving continuous improvement across forecasting and planning activities
What we want from you?
* Experience working in a demand planning role within the food manufacturing sector
* Strong understanding of supply chain, capacity modelling, and manufacturing processes
* Proficient Excel skills and familiarity with statistical forecasting methods
* Experience using forecasting tools and ERP systems
* Strong organisation and time management skills, with the ability to adapt to changing priorities
