Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across the East Midlands and their supply chains.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Across the East Midlands, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
If buying talent is scarce around Long Eaton, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
With the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal carrying the region's freight, buyers across the East Midlands often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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 Long Eaton 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.
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 ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
