Hiring a category manager in Stocksbridge? We test the negotiation record and the supplier management, because the role needs both.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.

A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
The strongest procurement candidates across Yorkshire are usually already buying for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs.
