The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Howden operations supplied at the right price.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Operations across the Humber & East Yorkshire rely on the M62, the A63, the A15 and the ports of Hull, Immingham and Goole. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Procurement roles across the Humber & East Yorkshire buy for operations at sites such as Goole and the M62 eastern corridor distribution parks.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
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 Howden 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.
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.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
