The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Honiton operations supplied at the right price.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Logistics around Honiton is defined by trunk-road distance from the national network, strong seasonal peaks and a large food and drink base. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Businesses operating from sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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 Honiton run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For Honiton businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
