The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Saffron Walden operations supplied at the right price.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Across the East of England, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the A14 and A11 corridors, the Port of Felixstowe and Stansted airfreight. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Across the East of England, buyers and category managers are hired by port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Saffron Walden run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
