Procurement Recruitment in Newtonmore

Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Newtonmore, recruited for the value they add to every contract.

Highlands & Islands

Procurement talent for Newtonmore

A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.

Operations across the Highlands & Islands rely on the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. 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 the Highlands & Islands are usually already buying for businesses such as distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.
