Procurement recruitment for Chorley employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Procurement vacancies across the North West come from retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Chorley run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
