About Christopher Haighton

That rush, when your team members are growing in confidence and are owning the room, as a strong, motivated, informed, determined, delivering part of the business.So what does a typical year look like?Saving 700 million litres of Diesel ✅Launching major operational change ✅Delivering system migrations ✅Promoting partnerships and ESG ✅✅Keeping a race team, motorsport series, automotive programmes and major Off-highways systems all moving ✅✅✅✅I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked through tactical, operational, and strategic roles within procurement, in large and small enterprises, learning from some amazing people. It equips you for major challenges, though thankfully there’s always something novel to keep things exciting. If I’m not having fun at work then you’ll find me playing sport, watching sport, or in the recording studio.I don’t do bored.
