Logistics Executive Group has released its inaugural Salary Guide for the UK which will become an annual study. 'We have drawn on data from our extensive database, including assignment briefs and candidate profiles, to compile a comprehensive and meaningful guide to Supply Chain and Logistics salaries,' said Niamh Ní Bhéara, Managing Director, Logistics Executive UK & Ireland. She went on to add 'Each role has a salary range which is influenced by the breadth and depth of experience and skills that a candidate can bring to that role, which also reflects the value that our clients place in attracting high caliber talent. We hope that both our clients and prospective candidates will find this salary guide a useful resource.'

'While salaries still form an integral part of any package, we are also seeing that development opportunities play an increasingly important role in a candidate’s interest in a role or a company.

 Developing talent from within, is still one of the best ways to retain staff and keep a competitive edge,' commented Mr Darryl Judd Group Chief Opertaing Officer for Logistics Executive Group.  He added, 'Typically, an employee’s skills and experience evolves as their career progresses. By ensuring companies nurture and invest in this personal and professional development, they create the platform for high levels of employee retention. We’re finding that more and more organisations are drawing on our Logistics Academy suite of professional development programs, our MBA’s and accredited Logistics diplomas as part of a holistic approach when hiring staff, as well as investing in existing resources.'
