Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the North West.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
From container logistics on the Mersey to big-shed distribution on the M62, employers around Bootle compete for experienced permanent people. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
If buying talent is scarce around Bootle, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
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 Bootle run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in the North West moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
