Following successive years of growth this business is building out it’s organisational infrastructure to allow it to capitalise on commercial opportunities brought about by new ways of working, systems and process development and diversity of thought.

* Previous experience of direct spend/buying/procurement for a manufacturing business

* Vison of what a purchasing excellence strategy looks like, or perhaps have developed one before

It’s also well positioned for a seasoned Supply Chain Manager who wants the chance to make a tangible difference.
