Procurement Recruitment in Worthing

Procurement recruitment for Worthing employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.

South East

Purchasing and sourcing hiring across Worthing

We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.

Operations at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.

If buying talent is scarce around Worthing, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.

With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover carrying the region's freight, buyers across the South East often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
