Due to the restructuring of Terberg Matec Uk Limited, I'm now seeking a new challenge.I’m a highly motivated, conscientious and a team play who is able to communicate at all levels. I have 25 years experience of working within the procurement function for several large organisations – Tata Steel, Ericsson Mobile and Siemens Power. Within these organisations I’ve had exposure to both goods and services, which included high value contracts. These businesses have given me an introduction to a number of best practice procedures, which I've been able to utilse through-out my career.Successes include –The implementation of a £2 million contract for the long term hire of Forklift Trucks at Tata Steel. This also included the reduction of suppliers from 6 to 1 and provided a cost saving of c. £150k.The development and success of this contract required the support of various key stakeholders within the businessThe introduction of a second source, thus increasing competition resulted in a reduction of £500k on a £1m contract for the removal and processing of waste materials.The sourcing of 2 injection moulding companies to support the UK production of mobile phones at Ericsson mobile.
