Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the Tees Valley and their supply chains.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Procurement vacancies across the Tees Valley come from Freeport operators, chemical and bulk logistics, offshore wind supply chains and manufacturing distribution. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
With the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport carrying the region's freight, buyers across the Tees Valley often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Darlington run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
