This senior Purchasing & Planning Manager role, reporting directly to the MD, will be pivotal in driving efficiency across procurement, stock control, and forecasting. The successful Purchasing & Planning Manager will lead the full implementation of a new MRP system (experience with Sage/Sicon highly advantageous), ensuring it becomes a core tool for optimising processes and supporting growth.

Alongside MRP implementation, you'll manage supplier relationships, negotiate best-value contracts, source internationally, and mentor one team member. You'll also collaborate closely with sales and finance to align supply chain planning with business objectives.

5+ years in a Purchasing Management role

A collaborative, supportive team environment

You'll be joining a small but highly successful, non-corporate business where everyone rolls up their sleeves and gets stuck in. That means you'll need to combine hands-on purchasing with strategic system leadership - making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and visible impact.
