Procurement recruitment for Macclesfield employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Macclesfield sits in the North West — the region's logistics engine, where Trafford Park, the M62 and the Port of Liverpool drive distribution across the North. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Macclesfield run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
