Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across London & the South East and their supply chains.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Across London & the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury carrying the region's freight, buyers across London & the South East often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
