My role is to create and manage frameworks. I build relationships with customers and suppliers. I am involved in the tender process for frameworks and the management of contracts.
It gives me job satisfaction when I have made a saving for customers. I am also professionally passionate about keeping good relationships with customers and suppliers.
I started in procurement as an apprentice working with customers and getting them signed up as a member. After 6 months I was promoted to a buyer where I managed my own frameworks, held supplier meetings, was involved in the tender process and built relationships with my customers and suppliers.
What motivates me is that CPC has a great team of people working for them which makes the company a great place to work. Being told that you have done a good job keeps me motivated. What inspires me is knowing that I am at the start of my procurement career and that there is plenty of development opportunities.
Professional, sociable and honest.
