Procurement continually looks to move forward and innovate. For example we were the first company in Europe to implement the Ariba eProcurement Buyer & Invoice system. We won the CIPS award for Most Improved Purchasing Operation not long ago, too.

Split between sites in Osterley and Brick Lane in London, we negotiate contracts with vendors to provide the highest quality goods and services at the lowest possible costs.

Ensuring these contracts in place means our budget holders and their teams can work more efficiently with suppliers, which ultimately leads to better business relationships.
