Devon & Cornwall

Torpoint procurement recruitment

A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.

Procurement employers across Devon & Cornwall include food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.

Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.

Procurement roles across Devon & Cornwall buy for operations at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates.
