Peter Smith is a Author at Oxford Brookes - A Sporting Miracle?. Colleagues describe him as "I initially met Peter through LinkedIn and in my previous role at TradingPartners came close to hiring Peter as a consultant after being suitably impressed with his procurement contacts and industry credentials, but mostly because of his fine taste in music. I was made redundant from that role and the opportunity fell through however Peter and I remained in contact and it was inevitable that we would work together. I now edit the Spend Matters UK/Europe monthly newsletter - sign up for this NOW here http://spendmatters.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e5a7e5e504b12eae987431b27&id=e1cea8e176 - read his daily blog http://spendmatters.co.uk/ and I enjoy his friendship as much as our professional collaboration. Peter is someone who you work with as a partner, he is enthusiastic about procurement, good music, ideas and he's genuinely interested in people. I trust him as a colleague, I value his opinion and I thoroughly enjoy working with him. I highly recommend that you work with Peter too. Ruth Pires" and "I hired Peter to help American Express understand more the public sector procurement landscape and to write us a topical whitepaper - he did both things for us with consumate skill and good humoured unflapability (is that even a word!). And the results were superb, our business has made great strides in the public sector space and the whitepaper has proved very popular with our potential customers. Would recommend Peter's work wholeheartedly."
