Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across southern Scotland and their supply chains.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Across southern Scotland, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
The strongest procurement candidates across southern Scotland are usually already buying for businesses such as cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Indicative permanent salaries in Annan 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
