South West

Chippenham procurement recruitment

Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.

Procurement employers across the South West include food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.

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

Procurement roles across the South West buy for operations at sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester.
