Procurement & Supply Chain

Globalisation, fluctuating exchange rates, low-cost country sourcing and customer service pressures have transformed supply chain from a tactical function into a strategic one.

Increasingly organisations are recognising the value added by their supply chain leaders, especially during periods of change, drawing upon their short and long term planning abilities and their strategies for cutting costs and increasing efficiencies

As speed to market, fulfillment rates and developing a global footprint become a competitive advantages, companies need their supply chain leaders to demonstrate the right mix of business and financial acumen, risk management skills, and international experience.

Our Supply Chain Practice is dedicated to identifying and attracting the very best supply chain talent available. We understand the operational and strategic imperatives faced daily: effectively collaborating with suppliers and distributors, responding to changes in demand, harnessing new technologies, optimising efficiencies and preventing costly disruptions.

Our knowledge and experience is both broad and deep, allowing us to successfully recruit across multiple vertical markets and partner many of the world’s leading organisations, assisting them to secure exceptional talent in:

However, an organisation’s effectiveness can be significantly reduced by such issues as personal differences, lack of strategic alignment, or failures of structure and governance, so we support our clients by providing a full range of complimentary board services including board assessment, board development and succession planning to help them ensure that this does not happen.
