Louise Ruffles is an experienced recruitment consultant with a background in national and international procurement recruitment, and a strong track record of managing mid-to-senior level interim and permanent recruitment projects. She works across the procurement and supply chain landscape, supporting clients with full-team hiring – from buyer through to executive-level appointments.

Originally focused on procurement, Louise broadened her remit after moving to a business with end-to-end supply chain specialisms. This gave her a deeper understanding of how functions interconnect – and how to align talent with operational and strategic goals across disciplines.

Louise brings a global network of candidates and clients, built over years of working with multinational businesses and leading large-scale recruitment projects, often within the context of complex procurement transformation programmes. Known for her technical knowledge and thoughtful, relationship-led approach, she works closely with businesses to ensure cultural alignment as well as capability in every hire.

Clients value her ability to interpret complex briefs and represent their business with insight and credibility. Candidates appreciate her balanced, supportive style; focused on helping people build careers with long-term purpose, not just secure the next role.

Louise is also SHL Level A & B qualified, adding an additional layer of insight into assessing fit and potential.

Outside of work, Louise enjoys Pilates, baking, and spending time with her family; a balance that helps her reset after busy, people-focused days.
