The Company

My client is a food wholesaler that is famed for quality. The last five has seen rapid growth, which has led to expansion of the Procurement function within the business.

With responsibility for a multi million pound budget, you will be buying fresh produce, including chilled and ambient fruit, vegetables, nuts, meat and fish. Given the current rate of growth within the business, the role would suit an ambitious and talented Buyer who wants to develop their purchasing career.
