Supply chain management is a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle that makes or breaks retail operations. To succeed, it takes more than the right pieces in the right place: it also requires the right people to make it work.
In the current cost-conscious business environment, it is easy to overlook people as a source of competitive advantage. By viewing staff as a company asset and not just another operating cost to the business, companies can deliver so much more than products on shelves.
Identifying the right people for the fast-moving world of supply chain and logistics requires people who already understand how much the operational requirements have changed in the past two decades. BiS Henderson chief executive Andy Kaye worked his way up through NFX and Exel before joining Storehouse, where he implemented the strategy to merge the BhS and Mothercare supply chains.
Kaye went on to develop the fulfilment solution for Mothercare.com before starting the BiS business, which merged in 2008 with George Henderson to provide a comprehensive supply chain and logistics recruitment consultancy that speaks from experience – and delivers the benefits of lessons learnt first-hand in the operations room.
Kaye has the support of chief operations officer Mark Botham, former managing director at George Henderson and himself a veteran of the 1990s logistics revolution, having worked at a senior level for IBM, EMI, Allders and Cabouchon. And in a world where globalisation is a reality rather than a pipe dream, BiS Henderson has the benefit of international and business development director Larry Woelk, whose career path includes board positions with Airborne Express, BAX Global, John Menzies, LEP International and Pinkerton Security.
With a management team that has so much hands-on experience, the result is that BiS Henderson recruitment consultants can spot the joins between CV stock phrases and personal qualities that will make the experience listed in the CV relevant. Across Europe there is a lot of competition for competent logistics practitioners: it takes a practiced eye to spot the best applicants for a vacancy. This is where the specialist recruitment consultants score over management teams that have one thousand and one other things to do besides just ensuring they attract the best available applicants and use their qualities to develop the business. At BiS Henderson, delivering is a given. Delivering quality is the company policy.
