Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the North West.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Procurement vacancies across the North West come from retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Businesses operating from sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kirkdale run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
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.
