Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Norfolk & the Fens.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Operations at sites such as King's Lynn and the Fenland agri-food and cold-storage estates depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
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.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Indicative permanent salaries in March 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.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
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.
For March businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
