The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Carshalton operations supplied at the right price.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Across London & the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Across London & the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
