I Also Do Procurement That Delivers Value

I have spent more than 30 years helping organisations improve how they buy, manage suppliers, control spend, and deliver measurable value.

My work sits at the intersection of procurement, operations, technology, and transformation.
It is always practical, always outcome focused, and always grounded in real operational experience.

I work with organisations that want procurement to function as a genuine commercial and operational enabler rather than an administrative overhead.

What I Do

I support organisations in strengthening procurement capability, improving control and visibility, and delivering measurable financial and operational outcomes.

This can involve transformation, system design, performance improvement, or targeted recovery work.
Some organisations need strategic direction. Others need practical delivery. Many need both.

My approach is direct, collaborative, and focused on results rather than theory.

Areas of Support

Procurement Transformation & Operating Model Design

Design or refine procurement structures that align with organisational goals, improve control, and deliver sustainable value.

Procure to Pay and System Architecture

Design, rebuild, or optimise P2P environments so they reflect how the organisation actually operates.
Experience across SAP, ServiceNow, Salesforce, and bespoke environments.

Spend Visibility and Value Recovery

Identify cost reduction opportunities, duplicate spend, contract leakage, and recovery potential.
Deliver measurable financial outcomes quickly.

Supplier Performance and Commercial Control

Build or improve supplier management frameworks, performance tracking, segmentation, and risk visibility.

Procurement Health Checks and Audits

Independent review of procurement capability, spend control, systems, and governance.
Clear findings and practical actions rather than theoretical reports.

Interim and Advisory Leadership

Short term or fractional leadership support during transition, transformation, or recovery periods.

Typical Engagements

I am usually asked to help when:

  • procurement is not delivering the value expected
  • systems and processes no longer reflect reality
  • spend visibility and control are limited
  • supplier performance is inconsistent
  • transformation initiatives have stalled
  • leadership needs clear, experienced guidance

Assignments range from targeted short term interventions through to broader transformation support.
