About me

I am skilled within supply chain functions with substantial experience in the Energy Industry, gained from a technical beginning progressing into external, then internal sales, through to progression as a buyer and onto supply chain management. I have been employed internationally and within the UK/EU in various temporary contract positions. The extent of my knowledge and experience is significant and covers a broad range in several key areas including internal sales, material management, stock control, warehousing, procurement, logistics, and coaching personnel in support of business needs.

My key strengths include detecting deficiencies in the supply chain that may have a detrimental effect on business objectives, developing preventative strategies and solutions to maintain effective support to team members, excellent sourcing capabilities and negotiating skills, subcontract initiation and management, and being opportunistic with a passion for reducing total costs of ownership. I maintain and develop computerized stock systems (ERP) and provide quality service through continuous improvements.

I have strong vendor and supplier relations and management skills, along with sound knowledge of HSSE, encouraging others to embrace health, safety, and environmental practices as routine. Throughout my career, I have held various roles including warehouse and logistics lead, global sourcing manager, logistics and purchasing support, project buyer, and logistics manager, working with companies across multiple countries and industries.

I am experienced in managing procurement and logistics for complex projects, negotiating contracts and supply agreements, managing stock control and replenishment using ERP systems, and leading teams to improve performance through KPI application. I have a proven track record of achieving significant cost savings and supporting business growth through effective supply chain management.

I am competent in the use of Microsoft Office tools, MAXIMO, and SAP, and hold a full UK driving license for buses and vehicles up to 7.5 tons. I am committed to continuous professional development and delivering value to organizations through efficient and strategic supply chain operations.
