Hiring a category manager in Uttoxeter? We test the negotiation record and the supplier management, because the role needs both.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Uttoxeter draws on the East Midlands' deep warehousing and distribution labour market, centred on the M1 and A14. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Procurement roles across the East Midlands buy for operations at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
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 stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Uttoxeter run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
