From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Lowestoft who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Lowestoft draws on a Norfolk and Fenland labour market with deep experience in temperature-controlled and seasonal agricultural work. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
If buying talent is scarce around Lowestoft, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Across Norfolk & the Fens, buyers and category managers are hired by agri-food and vegetable processing, cold storage, offshore wind and southern North Sea energy logistics and regional 3PLs.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lowestoft 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
