Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across Devon & Cornwall.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Operations at sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
Procurement demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
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.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Totnes run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
