The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Castleford operations supplied at the right price.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Operations at sites such as the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
If buying talent is scarce around Castleford, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Across Yorkshire, buyers and category managers are hired by retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port 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.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Castleford run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.

Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
