Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across Norfolk & the Fens and their supply chains.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Across Norfolk & the Fens, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Great Yarmouth port and the southern North Sea energy base. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
The strongest procurement candidates across Norfolk & the Fens are usually already buying for businesses such as food manufacturers and packers, chilled and frozen distribution, port and energy support operators.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Norwich run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.

Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
