Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the South East.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Across the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lymington run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
A strong procurement brief covers:
Loading live roles…
