We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Leeds and Yorkshire & the Humber, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Operations at sites such as the M62 / M1 corridor, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Across West Yorkshire, buyers and category managers are hired by retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics.
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 look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Leeds run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
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.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
