Years’ Experience: 12

Experience

After studying Purchasing and Supply Chain Management at university, I began my career as a Graduate Procurement Manager before quickly establishing myself as a Procurement Analyst and Buyer. Over six years in fast-paced and transformational procurement departments, I gained extensive experience before moving into Procurement Consultancy. I have worked with dozens of clients in a wide range of sectors, both public and private. More recently I have trained as a Solutions Architect, becoming fully Coupa Certified, and have led the delivery of a number of digital transformations.

As a person

I live with my wife Sarah and we have a miniature dachshund called Winne. We both have a love for holidays and spend as much time as we can seeking both adventure (me) and relaxation (Sarah), finding an equitable balance to keep us both happy. I am a certified Scuba Diver and love to dive whenever the opportunity arises. Back on home soil I’m a big Liverpool FC fan, I love a meal/drink out with friends & family and going for walks with Winnie who is 5kg of pure nuisance.
