Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across London & the South East.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Operations at sites such as the Heathrow airfreight belt, Park Royal, Enfield and the Thames Gateway depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Procurement demand across London & the South East follows e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
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 Dagenham run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in London & the South East moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
