Buyers who cut cost without cutting service, for businesses across Norfolk & the Fens and their supply chains.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Thetford sits in Norfolk and the Fens, served by the A11 and A47 rather than the A14 and Felixstowe corridor that dominates Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Across Norfolk & the Fens, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the A47 corridor between King's Lynn, Norwich and Great Yarmouth.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
With the A11, the A47, the A17 and the ports at Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn carrying the region's freight, buyers across Norfolk & the Fens often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Thetford run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
