Tayside & Fife

Recruiting buyers in Arbroath

We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.

Logistics around Arbroath serves a strong food and drink base, with the A90 and M90 linking Angus, Perthshire and Fife to the wider network. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.

If buying talent is scarce around Arbroath, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.

Businesses operating from sites such as the Port of Dundee and the Dundee and Perth industrial estates compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
