Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Devon & Cornwall.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Operations at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Across Devon & Cornwall, buyers and category managers are hired by food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Helston run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
