There have been some very exciting developments in UK procurement and supply chain, adding to the already vital role we play in supplying the business with essential products and services. Major work is being carried out on measuring and reducing the carbon footprint of our supply chain as well as working on a responsible procurement policy pushing green initiatives. We have also been busy conducting a huge survey of our customers internally and now have an action plan that will allow us to drive change to deliver over and above our customers expectations every time.



Giving ourselves challenges drives us forward, and this time we have given ourselves a big one. Our "perform to win" project tasks the UK to deliver 1.5 billion Euros in savings and performance improvements and UK Supply chain will play a huge part in driving and leading change to deliver that target. Procurement and Supply Chain Management at our company is more than just reducing costs and managing tenders. Stakeholder management, innovation, the courage to challenge, drive and lead changes and improvements in performance are playing a bigger part than ever.



So, if you are a leader of change, say hello to a career with value.
