I have found that the level of service and professionalism is exceptional. For me, one of the most important aspects of any relationship is ongoing communication and ensuring that I am kept up to speed with a process and how this is progressing and this is certainly an element of the service provided that I feel is a strength of Cast.
Chemical Sector Overview
The UK’s industrial recovery and growth, and our nation’s ability to respond to challenges, depends on nurturing and sustaining an internationally competitive chemical industry.
- The UK has a vibrant chemicals market and has an important role to play in the transition to a low carbon economy.
- The chemical sector has an annual turnover of £60 billion.
- The industry is consistently the UK’s biggest manufacturing contributor to the national balance of payments, posting an annual £5 billion trade surplus.
- Supporting the redevelopment of the UK’s base of SMEs will help to address key supply chain weaknesses in the sector.
- There are also opportunities to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) into the UK which will help to fill gaps in UK supply chains.

- We recruit a wide range of roles in pharmaceuticals, from procurement and purchasing to logistics and supply chain.
