Purchasing and sourcing hiring across Newham

Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.

Procurement vacancies across London & the South East come from last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.

Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.

With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury carrying the region's freight, buyers across London & the South East often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
