From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Acton who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Across London & the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Procurement demand across London & the South East follows urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Acton run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
