Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Teignmouth, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Procurement employers across Devon & Cornwall include chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
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.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Teignmouth run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in the South West moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
