Name: Connell Forbes
Job Role: Consultant
Years’ Experience: 2+
I am a procurement professional with expertise in procurement and strategic sourcing across industries such as pharmaceuticals, facilities management, IT and utilities. During my time at Barkers, I have worked with a number of clients and have experience with transformation projects, managing high value tenders and implementing cost-optimisation strategies which have driven significant savings.
I’m originally from Kent and recently moved to Manchester where I live with some friends. Outside of work, I enjoy running, playing tennis and travelling. I can also speak a bit of German and Spanish and would love to be fluent one day!
