Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the South East and their supply chains.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Horsham 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 Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
The strongest procurement candidates across the South East are usually already buying for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains 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 Horsham 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.
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 arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
