Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Skelmersdale, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement vacancies across the North West come from port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
If buying talent is scarce around Skelmersdale, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
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 Skelmersdale 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
