The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Blackpool operations supplied at the right price.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Operations at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
If buying talent is scarce around Blackpool, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Procurement demand across the North West follows retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Blackpool 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
