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.
Operations across the East Midlands rely on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
The strongest procurement candidates across the East Midlands are usually already buying for businesses such as big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Louth 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
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.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
