Procurement Recruitment in Twickenham

From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Twickenham who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.

London & the South East

Twickenham procurement recruitment

The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.

Across London & the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.

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

Across London & the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • The categories the role will buy
  • The main suppliers and contract renewal dates
