A procurement recruitment desk for Grimsby

We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.

Logistics around Grimsby is anchored by the Golden Triangle's national distribution centres and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. Across the East Midlands, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall.

Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.

Procurement demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.

Procurement FAQs

The detail

How do you assess procurement candidates?

We look at the categories and spend they have managed, the savings they can evidence, the negotiations they have led and their right to work.

Do procurement candidates need CIPS?

Not always. Some employers ask for a CIPS qualification and others put more weight on experience. Tell us which matters for your role and we will screen for it.

Can you recruit hybrid procurement roles?

Yes. Tell us the office and site days and we will only approach buyers who can work that pattern.

Can you benchmark a procurement salary?

Yes. We compare salary, bonus and hybrid terms with current offers for similar buying roles across the region.

What keeps a good buyer?

Influence over commercial decisions, reliable spend data, fair pay and a manager who backs their negotiations.
