Procurement Recruitment in Cheltenham

The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Cheltenham operations supplied at the right price.

South West

A procurement recruitment desk for Cheltenham

We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.

Operations at sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.

Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.

Across the South West, buyers and category managers are hired by port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
