South East

A procurement recruitment desk for Burgess Hill

Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.

Procurement employers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.

A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.

Procurement roles across the South East buy for operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.

If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • The categories the role will buy
  • Savings and supplier performance targets
  • Direct or indirect focus
  • Salary, bonus and benefits
