Therefore, when procuring the material, they ensure to employ only the experts who possess extensive experience in the field. Recently, there was a vacancy for a buyer, they consulted Cast UK and hired them as their procurement recruitment agency to help them find a few good initial candidates. 

On being asked about the job description for the post, Cast UK spokesman said, “The short-listed applicant would report to the purchasing manager. However, he/she will be expected to bear a good deal of responsibilities within his/her role to build expertise in the manufacturing and procurement sector. He/she will also be responsible for enhancing supplier relationships and continually ensuring reduction in manufacturing costs.”

“We have a large database and regular contact with people in the procurement sector, so we were sure that Bombardier would be happy with the shortlist. We took away the time-consuming part of searching for employees and allowed them to focus on choosing the most appropriate candidate from a small but experienced pool,” as per Wayne Brophy- founder and managing director of Cast UK. 

 Bombardier filled the vacancy with one of Cast UK’s suggested candidates, who had a background as a procurement professional for an international engineering company.

New Payment Agreement Could Prove Beneficial for Supply Chain Firms in Scotland

With a number of key players signing the new agreement, more payment protection will be provided to all those catering for the supply chain of construction industry in Scotland. It is noteworthy that Carillon, Babcock, Tata Steel and Balfour Beatty and many other businesses have already declared their support for the Supply Chain Finance initiative. 

This agreement is likely to accelerate the payment terms for suppliers. Operating under this payment agreement, the supplier firms will notify the bank when an invoice has been approved for payment so that the bank can offer it a 100% advance payment at minimal interest rate. This way the suppliers and others in supply chain management jobs will be able to maintain sufficient cash flow within smaller businesses. 

This initiative is being backed by Federation of Small Businesses. National chair John Walker noted that this payment agreement could improve the working capital for the SMEs and help the firms deal with the persistent problem of delayed payments.

 "The government is determined to back all those businesses who aspire to get ahead and take on more people,” as per David Cameron.
