Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Leicester, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Leicester sits at the centre of the East Midlands 'Golden Triangle', with Magna Park — one of Europe's largest dedicated distribution parks — on its doorstep. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement demand across Leicestershire follows national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Leicester 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 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.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
