Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the West Midlands.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
From national 3PLs to automotive supply chains, employers around Redditch compete for experienced permanent talent in the country's busiest distribution region. Across the West Midlands, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement demand across the West Midlands follows automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Redditch 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
