Tees Valley

Newton Aycliffe procurement recruitment

Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.

Procurement employers across the Tees Valley include chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.

Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.

Businesses operating from sites such as Teesport and the Teesside Freeport estates compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
