Procurement is a chain — and a weak link anywhere costs you money or a bad shipment. Your agent runs the whole thing.
Identifying farms, manufacturers and suppliers who can actually make or supply what you need, at the volumes you need.
Checking a supplier is real, capable and legitimate before your money moves — the step that prevents the expensive mistakes.
Getting samples and confirming specifications, so what you order is what you actually receive — no surprises at delivery.
Using real market knowledge and buying relationships to negotiate a fair price and workable payment and delivery terms.
Arranging inspection before goods ship, so quality problems are caught at source — not after they've reached your warehouse.
Handing off cleanly into logistics — booking freight and coordinating delivery, with Wigmore's own shipping arm on hand.
Anyone can search for suppliers online. The value of a real sourcing agent is what happens next — knowing which suppliers are genuine, what a fair price actually is, and how to catch a bad batch before it ships. Your agent sits inside a business that sources, buys and moves goods across West Africa and beyond every day, with relationships built over years of real trade.
That means better prices through real buying leverage, fewer bad-supplier surprises, and a clean hand-off into Wigmore's own warehousing, customs and shipping when the goods are ready to move.
The agent works whichever way your trade runs.
Sourcing and buying agent delivered as a monthly subscription: part-time 20 hours per week, full-time 35 hours per week. The agent is employed and supervised by Wigmore Trading while working to your brief, handling supplier search, vetting, negotiation, quality coordination and shipping hand-off. Supplier vetting and inspection reduce but do not eliminate the inherent risks of international trade; final purchasing decisions and contracts rest with the client. The cost of goods, freight, duties and inspection fees are separate from the subscription and confirmed before commitment. One-off sourcing projects quoted separately. Prices in USD.
Pick a package, brief your agent on a video call this week, and get suppliers found, vetted and negotiated — backed by a trading house that does this every single day.
