Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the South East and their supply chains.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Operations across the South East rely on the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
Across the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Gosport 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
