Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the North West.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Procurement vacancies across the North West come from port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
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 North West buy for operations at sites such as Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lancaster run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
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 Lancaster businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
