Procurement recruitment for Uxbridge employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Operations across London & the South East rely on the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Across London & the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Uxbridge 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.
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.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
