* Building and maintaining Excel-based reports across stock, pricing, and logistics
* Liaising with suppliers, freight forwarders, and internal departments
* Supporting sourcing activities across UK, European, and global markets
* Assisting with supplier performance and cost improvement initiatives
* Providing general administrative and operational support across the purchasing team
What We’re Looking For
* A recent graduate or early-career individual looking to build a career in purchasing or supply chain
* Strong Excel and IT skills (comfortable handling data and reports)
* Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
* A proactive, can-do attitude with a willingness to learn
* Confident communication skills across teams and stakeholders
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
* Flexible and committed — someone who will go the extra mile when required
What’s On Offer
* £28,000 salary + £2,000 retention bonus after 12 months
* Structured training and development within purchasing
* Clear progression opportunities as the business continues to grow
* Modern office environment
* Free on-site parking
* Staff discount
* Private healthcare and life insurance
* Limited hybrid working (post-probation, subject to approval)
Why This Role?
This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to learn quickly, take on responsibility early, and build a long-term career within a commercially driven purchasing function.
