As a commercial practitioner, my career began with the UK Civil Service under the Government Commercial Function, since then I have been a contractor in both the public and private sectors. Prior to that I lectured in educational institutions, and am a retired sport professional. I hold formal qualifications in
*Member of Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (MCIPS)
*Masters in Management Consultancy
I have worked in different industries including: defense, education, facilities and estates, health, logistics, security, and sport. Each industry and organisation brought unique challenges and opportunities. The contracts I have managed, cover a range of goods and services from TVs to fighter jets. It is from these experiences, I draw the teaching points for our companies courses.
Having made the jump from education to the public sector, business and finally consulting. I understand the uncertainty of starting out in a new industry or organisation. What I realised was that many of the skills and experience I developed in my career could be transferred. The knowledge I have gained from on the job experience, workshops, postgraduate studies, and online learning, has enabled me to upskill and excel in new roles.
Unlocking efficiencies and achieving value for money, enables an organisation to grow. For the professional like yourself, you will gain a great sense of satisfaction and motivation, like I have, from creating, implementing and developing yourself and others.
The challenge will become, can you believe in yourself to create, the best life for you?
