With a growing national presence, an ambitious culture and excellent opportunities for progression, this is a fantastic time to join its expanding procurement team.
The Role
You will take day-to-day ownership of assigned product categories, ensuring customers receive a consistently high-quality, commercially competitive and reliable product offering.

Key responsibilities will include:
• Managing assigned product categories and monitoring their commercial performance

• Working with demand planning teams to align purchasing with customer demand
• Minimising waste, excess stock and supply disruption
• Monitoring supplier performance across quality, service and reliability
• Resolving shortages, substitutions and wider supply challenges
• Supporting category margin through effective purchasing and cost awareness
• Identifying opportunities to improve value, service and efficiency
About You
You will ideally have experience within buying, procurement, supply chain or category support gained in foodservice, FMCG, fresh produce, wholesale or a similarly fast-paced environment.
You will also bring:
• Good commercial awareness across cost, margin, stock and availability
• Experience working directly with suppliers
• Strong organisation and attention to detail
• The ability to manage multiple categories and changing priorities
• A practical and solutions-focused approach
• Confident communication and relationship-building skills
• Experience within a multi-site distribution environment would be advantageous
This is an opportunity to join an impressive, people-focused business that combines an established reputation with ambitious plans for continued growth.
