The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Bilston operations supplied at the right price.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Procurement vacancies across the West Midlands come from automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Businesses operating from sites such as the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor 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.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bilston run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
