We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Ringwood and the South East, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Operations at sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Procurement demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ringwood run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
