The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Daventry operations supplied at the right price.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Across the East Midlands, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Across the East Midlands, buyers and category managers are hired by national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
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 stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Daventry run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
