Fractional Head of Supply Chain

You know what the problems are. Now it's time to fix them.

Who This Is For

DTC apparel brands between £3M and £30M who have completed the audit and are ready to act on what it found. Typically you're at the point where:

  • The founder is still running supply chain decisions that should have been handed off

  • Margins are being lost in places that haven't been properly addressed

  • The operation is holding back growth rather than supporting it

  • You need a senior supply chain leader but aren't ready for a full-time hire

Why Fractional Leadership Exists

A senior supply chain leader costs £150k+ a year all in. For most brands between £3M and £30M that hire isn't justified yet - so the founder stays involved too long, problems get managed around rather than fixed, and the operation quietly holds the business back. Fractional leadership closes that gap - senior experience embedded in your business, at a fraction of the cost and none of the risk.

More About Your Fractional Head of Supply Chain

I'm Anthony (on the right) - and when you engage Onflair, I'm who you get.

I've spent the last decade working across some of the world's most recognised brands - Mercedes-Benz, Adidas, Burberry, BBC Studios, OnlyFans - managing everything from global product launches to full supply chain overhauls. I've overseen $50M+ in production volume, recovered $12M+ in COGS, and worked with brands at every stage from early growth to nine-figure scale.

What I bring to a fractional engagement isn't a framework or a playbook. It's pattern recognition - having seen the same problems show up across enough businesses to know exactly where to look, what to fix first, and what it's worth commercially.

I work with a small number of brands at any one time. That's intentional - every engagement gets my full attention, not a team of juniors with my name on the door.
