Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Newquay, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Operations across Devon & Cornwall rely on the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
The strongest procurement candidates across Devon & Cornwall are usually already buying for businesses such as chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
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.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Newquay 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
