Procurement recruitment for Royston employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Royston sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
If buying talent is scarce around Royston, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Businesses operating from sites such as Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — the A14 freight corridor and the parks along the M11 and A1(M) compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Royston 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
