Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Newmarket, 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.
Procurement vacancies across the East of England come from port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
With the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport carrying the region's freight, buyers across the East of England often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Newmarket run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.

A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.

We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
