Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across North Yorkshire and their supply chains.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Procurement vacancies across North Yorkshire come from food and drink manufacturers, agricultural supply chains, rural distribution operators and A1 trunking hauliers. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
With the A1(M), the A19, the A64 and the East Coast Main Line carrying the region's freight, buyers across North Yorkshire often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
