I am an International Procurement & Supply Chain Director, alongside operating as Chairperson for the UK FFPA and acting as President for the European FFPA. I am expert at delivering industry leading improvement strategies and leading world-class sector standards for companies operating in the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain sector. As a leading procurement and supply chain Director, I have delivered significant transformations for SugaRich that later became universally approved industry benchmarks.As Procurement and Supply Chain Director for SugaRich, I significantly reduced transportation and overall fleet costs double shifting and double manning vehicles to optimise fleet and driver utilisation. In pioneering bespoke hook-loader vehicles in calibration with specialist trailer manufacturers, I achieved 92% world-class driver utilisation whilst double shifting 30% of vehicles to deliver circa £1m savings for SugaRich..As Director for SugaRich and Chair for the UK Former Foodstuff Processors Association, I led an industry wide Task Force to challenge Maleic Hydrazide legislation, averting imposed losses to both SugaRich and the UK Agri / Food Sector (~£150m). In negotiating legislative changes I gained a 12 month industry derogation with an Industry Transition Notice, allowing companies across Europe to reposition their businesses before final legislation became enforced..One of my core skills is effectively leading largescale negotiations, representing all companies within the sector, ensuring legislative changes never create imposed cost. In ensuring industry changes are implemented effectively, I focus on incorporating legislation beneficially to ensure sector continuity. I am passionate about maintaining sustainability for the Agri / Food Industry, leveraging and synergising my unique position within the sector.Key Skills:-✔ Supply Chain Transformation ✔ Agri / Food Sector Legislation Compliance✔ World-Class Policies, Processes & Standards ✔ Performance Management Frameworks ✔ Supply Chain & Supplier Cost Optimisation ✔ Directing National Legislative Negotiations ✔ Building & Leading UK Task Forces✔ Pioneering Technological Implementations✔ World-Class Procurement Initiatives✔ Cost Recovery Programmes✔ Performance Management Delivery✔ Creating Growth Environments.✔ International Policies & Standards.✔ Cultural Transformation & Improvements.
