Procurement recruitment for Lewes employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Across the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
The strongest procurement candidates across the South East are usually already buying for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lewes run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every 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.
