The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Harrow operations supplied at the right price.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Operations across London & the South East rely on the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Businesses operating from sites such as Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25 compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Harrow run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. 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.
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.
