The lifeblood of business in Southern Africa, this industry offers a wide range of opportunities in sales, operations and
management for experienced candidates. Supply Chain encompasses the planning and management of all activities
involved in sourcing, procurement, conversion, and all logistics and freight management activities. The emerging
requirement for resources in this continually growing market demands recruitment consultants dedicated to closing
the gap between supply, demand, and all logistics and freight activities, with suitably qualified people.

accumulated knowledge to the selection and placement of appropriate
technical, specialist and management staff.
