Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the East of England and their supply chains.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Hertford sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Procurement demand across the East of England follows container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hertford 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
