We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Rugby and the West Midlands, 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 across the West Midlands rely on the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement roles across the West Midlands buy for operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rugby run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For Rugby businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
