The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Whitchurch operations supplied at the right price.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Across the West Midlands, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
If buying talent is scarce around Whitchurch, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Across the West Midlands, buyers and category managers are hired by national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Whitchurch run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
