We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Farnworth and the North West, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Across the North West, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Across the North West, buyers and category managers are hired by port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Farnworth 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
