From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Trowbridge who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Operations across the South West rely on the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Procurement roles across the South West buy for operations at sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside estates.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Indicative permanent salaries in Trowbridge run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
