Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Horwich, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Horwich draws on the North West's deep distribution, port and fulfilment labour market. 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.
The strongest procurement candidates across the North West are usually already buying for businesses such as retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Horwich 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
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.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
