I am an experienced procurement professional with a career spanning over 25 years in both private and public sector. I currently run All Things Procurement, a social enterprise focussing on increasing public sector business to small to medium enterprises and optimising the delivery of social value through procurement.

I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply and a member of the Institute of Leadership and Management, as well as a member of the Federation for Small Businesses and Social Value UK. I am also an active committee member of the CIPS South Yorkshire branch along with a number of other volunteering activities I undertake.

I first joined public sector procurement in 2013 as Head of Procurement for Nottingham Trent University, and was also a non-executive director of NEUPC during my tenure there. I then joined YPO in 2016 as Head of Procurement Services responsible for over £600m public sector spend under management. Prior to this I worked as Supply Chain Director within Babcock International Group leading global procurement and supply chain teams in asset infrastructure. In addition, I have extensive experience as a small business owner including business acquisition and start up.

I am currently working with a number of local authorities who are looking at delivering enhanced local economic growth through engagement with the small business community as well as working with Crown Commercial Services developing next generation strategy for contingent labour in Education. I also regularly undertake bid support for businesses including building, shaping and reviewing bids.
