I help product and manufacturing businesses make better sourcing and procurement decisions, from supplier identification and qualification through to RFQs, negotiation and supplier selection. With 18+ years of hands-on procurement and manufacturing experience, I don't just look for the cheapest supplier. I assess the commercial picture, cost, quality, capacity, lead time, capability and supply risk, so you can make a decision that works beyond the initial purchase order.

I'll assess the available options, challenge the commercial assumptions, compare suppliers against the factors that matter, identify potential risks and help you reach a commercially sound decision. Where appropriate, I'll also take the process beyond supplier selection into negotiation, supplier management and ongoing procurement improvement. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗺𝗲? My background isn't based solely on sourcing products online. I've spent 18+ years working across procurement, purchasing, material planning and manufacturing, including experience within demanding automotive and industrial environments. That means I understand what happens after the supplier is selected, quality issues, capacity constraints, lead-time problems, price pressure, poor communication and suppliers that look good on paper but fail in production. That's the perspective I bring to every sourcing and procurement project. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗹𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸. Tell me what you're trying to source, the problem you're experiencing, or where your current procurement process is falling short. I'll help you work out what needs to happen next.
