We are Bramwith Consulting

We connect the brightest procurement, operations and supply chain professionals with the most exciting brands.

We’ve succeeded because we know our sector inside out

We’re experts. We understand the challenges and we find the solutions

Since 2008 we’ve built an unrivaled, elite pool of talent across the US and globally. When it comes to discovering and placing the perfect candidates we are simply unmatched.

By building long-standing, trusting relationships with both clients and candidates we connect the people that need to be connected – whatever the requirements.

Our Story

Bramwith’s story began in 2006 when our founder, Saffa Ayub, noticed a lack of specialist recruitment firms in the procurement, operations and supply chain sector.

By combining her industry knowledge and her passion for recruitment Saffa has built an award-winning global recruitment consultancy that is recognized as a market leader, one that is proud to work with some of the industry’s biggest names.

Over the years, Saffa and her team have uncovered some of the best procurement and supply chain talent across the globe and built an enviable network of elite professionals – the kind of people you simply won’t find elsewhere.

Today, Bramwith continues to go from strength to strength, helping clients across the US and around the world find the right people to support their operations and grow their businesses.

Our values

We are proud of the ethics and values that Bramwith is built on. We are proud to set ourselves apart from recruiters looking to make a quick buck. We favor building loyalty over quick wins and use our industry insights to help support our peers and community.

Proven

We are recognized by our peers through our industry awards, testimonials and successful track record. In over 12 years of business, we’ve consistently proven to both clients and candidates that we have their best interests at heart. They rely on us to find them the perfect match, and we never let them down.
Trusted

Building and maintaining trust is central to our business. We know of no other procurement and supply chain specialists that focus on nurturing long-standing relationships the way we do. By prioritizing partnerships over short term gains we help build trusted alliances that bring strength and security to all parties.
World Class

Our global candidate and client network just keeps on growing, enabling us to share our industry expertise with our community throughout the US and around the world. With offices in New York, London and Amsterdam and more planned for the future, our reach is truly international.
Passionate

Alongside our expertise, we are genuinely passionate about the procurement, operations and supply chain sector. We care about our candidates and our clients – and we care about meeting and exceeding their goals. Doing things half-heartedly just isn’t for us. We want to be the best and do the best we can.
