The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Leigh operations supplied at the right price.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Across the North West, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Procurement demand across the North West follows port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Leigh run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
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.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
