We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Gloucester and the South West, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
From port handling to regional distribution, employers around Gloucester compete for experienced permanent logistics people across the South West. Across the South West, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5.
If buying talent is scarce around Gloucester, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Procurement demand across the South West follows grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
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.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Gloucester run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
