Myers Motor Merchandise Ltd
Location: Marple
Salary: £25,000–£28,000 per annum, depending on experience

About Us
Myers Motor Merchandise is a small, family-run business specialising in promotional merchandise for the automotive industry.
We pride ourselves on providing a friendly, personal service to our customers and have built long-standing relationships with both customers and suppliers.
We're now looking for an organised, proactive and dependable Purchasing & Logistics Coordinator to join our small team and take ownership of the day-to-day purchasing and logistics side of the business.
This is a varied, hands-on position where no two days are exactly the same. We're looking for someone who enjoys taking responsibility, solving problems and getting things done.
We are primarily looking for someone to join us on a full-time basis; however, for the right candidate, we would consider part-time hours.
The Role
Your responsibilities will include:
- Raising and placing purchase orders with UK and overseas suppliers
- Checking purchase orders carefully for quantities, specifications, pricing and delivery requirements
- Liaising with suppliers regarding orders, production and lead times
- Tracking orders and ensuring deadlines are met
- Organising UK and international deliveries and couriers
- Resolving delivery, supplier and order issues
- Keeping customers and the wider team updated on order progress where required
- Checking supplier invoices and delivery charges
- Maintaining accurate order and purchasing records
- Answering telephone calls and assisting customers and suppliers
- General administrative duties
- Helping with packing and dispatching orders when required
- Supporting the wider team during busy periods
As a small business, we all get involved when needed, so we're looking for someone who is just as comfortable placing purchase orders and dealing with suppliers as they are helping pack an urgent order ready for collection.
About You
We're looking for someone who is:
- Exceptionally attentive to detail
- Highly organised and able to prioritise
- Proactive and able to use their own initiative
- Someone who takes ownership and follows things through
- Reliable, accountable and trustworthy
- A natural problem-solver
- Friendly, helpful and professional
- Confident with a good telephone manner
- A clear written communicator
- Comfortable with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, spreadsheets and email
- Quick to learn new software and systems
- Confident working with numbers and checking costs and quantities
- Calm and constructive when things get busy
- Comfortable working as part of a small team
- Flexible and happy to get involved in different areas of the business
- Looking for a stable, long-term position with the opportunity to grow
You'll ideally have at least two years' experience working in an office-based role and be confident using online systems and software.
We're a family-run business and would particularly like to find someone who wants to settle into the role, become an important part of our team and grow with the company over the long term.
Bonus Skills
Experience in any of the following would be advantageous, but isn't essential:
- Purchasing or procurement
- Logistics and courier management
- Promotional merchandise, print or a similar industry
- Adobe Illustrator
For us, attitude, organisation and willingness to take ownership are just as important as previous industry experience. If you're a quick learner with the right approach, we'd still love to hear from you.

- Why you feel you would be a good fit for the role

Closing date: Monday 7th September 2026
