The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Wirral operations supplied at the right price.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Procurement employers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
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 the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
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.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wirral run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For Wirral businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Buyers who leave early often cite little influence, poor data or a business that ignores procurement. We raise all three first.
