The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Warrington operations supplied at the right price.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Operations across Cheshire & the North West rely on the M6, M62 and M56, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Manchester Ship Canal. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Businesses operating from sites such as Omega (one of the UK's largest logistics parks), Birchwood and the M6/M62 junction sites compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
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.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Warrington run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in the North West moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
