From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Minehead who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Across the South West, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Across the South West, buyers and category managers are hired by port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
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.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Minehead run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. 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 help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
