West Midlands

A procurement recruitment desk for Stafford

Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.

Logistics around Stafford is powered by the Golden Triangle's big-shed distribution and a deep automotive and manufacturing supply chain. Across the West Midlands, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham.

We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.

Across the West Midlands, buyers and category managers are hired by automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.
