Location: Harlow, Essex (Easily commutable with parking & public transport access)

Hours: Monday - Friday, 7:45 AM - 5:00 PM

Are you a commercially savvy, results-driven individual with strong negotiation skills? Whether you're an experienced buyer or looking to make a move from sales, merchandising, branch/store management, or supply chain into buying, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

1. Market Leader - A fast-growing, independent leader in tools, equipment, and accessories, outpacing competitors in e-commerce and retail.
2. Exciting Growth - Turnover has skyrocketed from £40M to £70M in three years, with new stores, new concepts, and expansion into new categories.
3. Innovative & Entrepreneurial Culture - Be part of a dynamic, commercially focused team in a business that thrives on fast decision-making and proactive deal-making.
4. Long-Term Career Growth - Many employees have risen through the ranks into senior roles. Your ambition will be recognized and rewarded.
5. Industry-Leading Marketing & Demand Creation - Unlike others, this company creates demand, not just fulfills it, giving buyers a strategic commercial advantage.

What Will You Do?

2. Monitor sales performance, manage stock levels, and ensure availability of key products.
3. Collaborate with marketing to drive promotions and maximize category success.
4. Stay ahead of market trends, analyze competitors, and make data-driven buying decisions.
5. Build strong relationships with suppliers to ensure the best deals.

1. Experienced Buyers in tools, construction, industrial supplies, electricals, wholesale, or retail.
2. Merchandisers, Branch Managers, Sales Professionals, and Supply Chain experts eager to transition into buying.
3. Strong negotiators who enjoy securing the best deals and managing supplier relationships.
4. Numerically confident professionals who can work with margins, pricing strategies, and forecasts.
