We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Whitby and Yorkshire & the Humber, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Across the Humber & East Yorkshire, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Port of Hull and the A63 corridor estates. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement demand across the Humber & East Yorkshire follows port and bulk terminal operators, offshore wind and renewables supply chains, chemicals and food processing and rail-linked 3PLs.
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 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 Whitby 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
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.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
