Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Yorkshire.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Across Yorkshire, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Across Yorkshire, buyers and category managers are hired by retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Penistone run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in Yorkshire & the Humber moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
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.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
