From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Poole who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Operations at sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country 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.
Procurement demand across the South West follows port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
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 Poole run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
