Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the South West and their supply chains.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Procurement vacancies across the South West come from grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
With the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury carrying the region's freight, buyers across the South West often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
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.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Coleford run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
