Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in New Milton, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
New Milton draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. Across the South East, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
The strongest procurement candidates across the South East are usually already buying for businesses such as Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in New Milton 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.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
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.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
