The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Crawley operations supplied at the right price.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Logistics operations around Crawley serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. Across the South East, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Crawley run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
For Crawley businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
