The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Ludlow operations supplied at the right price.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Logistics around Ludlow is powered by the Golden Triangle's big-shed distribution and a deep automotive and manufacturing supply chain. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
If buying talent is scarce around Ludlow, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Procurement roles across the West Midlands buy for operations at sites such as the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ludlow 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
