Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the North West.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Operations across the North West rely on the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement roles across the North West buy for operations at sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Whitefield 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For Whitefield businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
