The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Colwyn Bay operations supplied at the right price.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
The market around Colwyn Bay looks east to Deeside and Chester as much as it does south — a distinct labour pool from South Wales. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
With the A55 expressway, the A483, the A5 and the port of Holyhead carrying the region's freight, buyers across North Wales often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
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.
