Procurement recruitment for Marlborough employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Marlborough sits in the South West, where the M4/M5 junction and the Avonmouth deep-water port make the region the gateway to the West Country and South Wales. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
With the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury carrying the region's freight, buyers across the South West often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Marlborough 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
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.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
