From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in St Helens who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Operations across the North West rely on the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Businesses operating from sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Indicative permanent salaries in St Helens 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For St Helens businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
