Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the North West and their supply chains.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement vacancies across the North West come from grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool carrying the region's freight, buyers across the North West often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Bury run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. 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 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.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
