From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Merton who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Across London & the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Across London & the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
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 Merton run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
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 permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
