Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the South East and their supply chains.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Havant sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. Across the South East, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover carrying the region's freight, buyers across the South East often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
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.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Havant run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
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.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
