Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the North East and their supply chains.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement employers across the North East include automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the A1(M) and A19 corridor, the Port of Tyne, Teesport and the automotive supply-chain parks are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Cramlington 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 arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
