* Resolving any quality / service issues with suppliers in a timely and professional manner.
* Ensuring all databases including the MRP system are kept up to date with correct contact details and communications.
* Developing and maintaining strong relationships with new and existing suppliers whilst continuously reviewing their performance.
* Keeping up to date with industry market trends, policies and procedures using the internet, supplier relationships and other sources as required.
We would like our ideal candidates to possess:
* Previous experience within a buying / procurement / purchasing position OR experience in a heavily admin focused position with an interest in procurement
