From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Wells who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Procurement employers across the South West include grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Businesses operating from sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wells run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
Buyers grow into category managers and category managers into heads of procurement. Hiring well now builds that path.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
