We work with executive teams, CPOs and finance leaders to shape procurement strategies that are tightly aligned to business goals. Typical work includes opportunity assessments, category strategy development, make vs buy decisions and commercial strategy design.

We focus on outcomes that senior stakeholders care about: lower total cost, better supplier performance, faster speed to market and stronger business engagement with procurement.

We assess and optimise supply chains to improve performance, visibility and risk management. This includes mapping end to end supply chains, identifying single points of failure, reviewing inventory policies and simplifying supplier networks.

Our work helps organisations respond to disruption, improve service levels and ensure that supply chain design supports long term growth rather than constraining it.

We help finance and operational leaders translate cost targets into practical delivery plans. This goes beyond rate reduction and looks at demand, specification, process and supplier economics across major spend areas.

Typical outcomes include cost reduction programmes linked directly to the P&L, board level cost dashboards, spend control frameworks and improved collaboration between Procurement, Finance and budget owners.

We design and implement third party risk frameworks that are proportionate, practical and compliant. This includes segmentation of suppliers, definition of risk controls, and integration of risk checks into sourcing and contract processes.

Our clients strengthen their management of regulatory, operational and ESG risk, while avoiding unnecessary complexity that slows down the business.

We modernise procurement functions so they can deliver more value with the same or fewer resources. This includes operating model design, role definition, governance, policy, and the selection and implementation of digital tools such as eSourcing platforms, contract management and supplier analytics.

The result is a clearer mandate for procurement, better quality data, faster decision making and an improved experience for stakeholders and suppliers.

We support clients through mergers, acquisitions and divestments by aligning procurement, supply chain and third party spend to the new structure.

Our work covers synergy identification, contract and supplier consolidation, policy harmonisation and post deal implementation. We help clients capture value quickly while reducing disruption to operations and customers.

We provide experienced interim leaders to stabilise, relaunch or accelerate procurement and supplier management functions. Typical roles include Interim CPO, Procurement Director, Head of Category Management or Head of Third Party Risk.

Assignments often focus on short term performance improvement such as fixing service issues, addressing audit or regulatory findings, resetting supplier relationships or delivering urgent savings. We leave behind a clearer strategy, stronger team and practical tools that the organisation can sustain.
