The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Epping operations supplied at the right price.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Logistics around Epping is shaped by container traffic through the Haven ports, plus a strong agri-food and retail distribution base. Across the East of England, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the A1(M) and A421 corridors and the Bedfordshire distribution estates.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Across the East of England, buyers and category managers are hired by container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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 Epping 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
