SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGER

Planning, procurement inventory and master data

McBride is a British-based manufacturing company, founded in 1927 in Manchester, UK. The core business is the development and manufacture of private-label household and professional cleaning and hygiene products, as well as contract manufacturing for brand owners. McBride operates across five main divisions: Liquids, Powders, Unit Dosing, Aerosols, and Asia Pacific. Their product portfolio includes laundry detergents, dishwasher tablets, surface cleaners, and other household and professional hygiene products. They supply large retail chains (including private label) and also provide contract manufacturing services.

They are one of the leading private-label cleaning/hygiene manufacturers in Europe - meaning they supply many of the supermarket house-brand products that consumers buy. Their business model allows large retail chains to outsource manufacturing of "store brand" cleaning & hygiene products, which can be cost-effective and scalable.

What are we looking for:
