Procurement recruitment for Penzance employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Operations at sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
With the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth carrying the region's freight, buyers across Devon & Cornwall often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Penzance run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
