Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across London & the South East.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Across London & the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Heathrow airfreight belt, Park Royal, Enfield and the Thames Gateway. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Procurement demand across London & the South East follows e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hounslow 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.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For Hounslow businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
