Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across London & the South East.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Procurement vacancies across London & the South East come from e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
If buying talent is scarce around Bexley, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Businesses operating from sites such as the Heathrow airfreight belt, Park Royal, Enfield and the Thames Gateway compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bexley run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
For Bexley businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
