I'm recruiting on behalf of a long-standing, family-run import and distribution business based in Banbury, serving the equestrian and agricultural wholesale market for over 20 years.

This is a small but dynamic business with a strong product portfolio - including wheelbarrows, matting, and bulk plastics - and a loyal trade customer base across the UK. Following investment in ERP systems and reporting tools, the company is now looking to strengthen its operational capabilities with the addition of a Supply Chain Coordinator.

As Supply Chain Coordinator, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day supply chain and purchasing functions. From managing overseas suppliers to coordinating shipments and ensuring stock accuracy, you'll play a critical role in making sure the right products are in the right place - on time and in full.

This is a hands-on, varied position within a close-knit team, ideal for someone with strong planning and coordination experience who enjoys working across the full supply chain cycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate all inbound shipments from international and UK-based suppliers
• Raise purchase orders and maintain accurate lead time and cost data in the ERP system (Unleashed)
• Monitor and manage stock levels, reorder points, and forecasts to ensure availability
• Work closely with warehouse and sales teams to maintain effective flow of information
• Liaise with freight partners to ensure timely and cost-effective deliveries
• Support continuous improvement of OTIF (on-time in-full) performance
• Identify issues or delays early and implement effective solutions
• Use data and reporting tools (e.g. Phocas) to support supply chain decisions and improvements

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Proven experience in a supply chain, purchasing, or logistics coordination role
• Experience working in import/distribution, ideally in an SME environment
• Strong understanding of end-to-end supply chain processes and international logistics
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and proactive problem-solving mindset
• Confident using ERP systems (Unleashed a bonus) and reporting tools
• Skilled in Excel and comfortable working with stock and performance data

What’s On Offer

• GBP35,000-GBP45,000 depending on experience
• Monday to Friday, 7:30am-5:00pm
• Free lunch provided daily
• Free on-site parking
• 21 days holiday 8 bank holidays
• A close-knit, supportive team and open company culture
• The chance to make a meaningful impact in a business investing in growth and efficiency
