The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Sandwich operations supplied at the right price.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Logistics operations around Sandwich serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. Across the South East, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Across the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sandwich run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every 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.
