I really enjoy procurement and supply chain management in the fast moving restaurant and food service sector. In my career I have been lucky enough to hold senior positions in major restaurant brands (Whitbread, Pizza Hut and Nando's) and to lead their procurement and supply chain functions through periods of significant change and company growth.The capability of the supply chain is often the least understood aspect of restaurant businesses, yet its impact on smooth running operations is significant. My specialism is in setting up and leading the procurement and supply chain activity to support the overall business strategy and to organise resources to provide a robust and reliable supply chain. This includes reviewing the existing supply chain (the sourcing strategy, supply contracts and agreements, logistics and distribution, supplier performance and relationship management, and team structure and performance) and developing a plan to improve the supply chain performance. I am confident, conscientious and self-motivated with lots of positive energy and enthusiasm for the business and its success.
Listed skills include Procurement, Supply Chain Management, Food And Beverage, Restaurants, and 22 others.
