We are a small, dynamic, busy team, split by key categories of indirect and direct spend and we often find the biggest opportunities by working together.

Full and detailed spend and budget review.
Pipeline planning and maintaining for all requirements.
Using and maintaining all the procurement engagement tracker, contract database and sourcing tools for their area of spend.
