Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Middleton, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Middleton draws on the North West's deep distribution, port and fulfilment labour market. Across the North West, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
With the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool carrying the region's freight, buyers across the North 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 Middleton run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in the North West moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. 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.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
