• Company-funded Christmas and summer parties
• Ad hoc company activities, such as Pancake Day, with food provided on site
• An early finish every Friday at 1pm

As a Buyer, your responsibilities will include:

• Place and manage purchase orders in line with MRP signals, production schedules and customer demand
• Chase suppliers proactively to secure on time delivery and resolve order queries
• Monitor inventory levels and work with Planning, Stores and Production to resolve material shortages
• Maintain accurate purchasing and material data within the ERP/MRP system
