Introduction

I have been married for 15 years and am mummy to an inquisitive 4 year old who never sits still.  I live near to Cannock Chase in Staffordshire which gives me plenty of opportunities to go for forest walks and frequent visits to my daughters favourite picnic spot. I enjoy photography and, before family life was my priority, I professionally attended weddings and christenings, these days my photos tend to be of my family and the places we visit in our frequent travels from our ever expanding bucket list.

As a procurement professional I have many year’s experience in global manufacturing and previous experience within local government.

I have been the lead and participated in projects at all levels of the business. I am a proven negotiator and my skills focus on evidence driven decisions through data analysis. I advocate building and developing internal and external relationships and have a passion for process improvement and use this to deliver efficient working practices and processes.
 

Background

My career has predominantly be focused in the manufacturing industry for SME’s and global manufacturers.

Most recently as a Key Commodity buyer supplying electromechanical assemblies globally. Creating and managing Kanban’s played a large part of my day to day to control production to ensure JIT manufacturing, while encompassing price negotiations, vendor analysis, contract negotiations and supplier management.

My current role as Head of Sales combines all my previous experience to maximise my potential and grow with Loguru.

Why Loguru and why the change? Its simple, Loguru allows me to work with an ethical company who genuinely believes in me and will help me to grow professionally. As a handpicked team, all with the same goal, we have an enriched organisational commitment to change the normal business culture and succeed as one.

Current Aspirations

On a personal level to get back to spending time with family and friends and, when travel rules return to some level of normality to show my daughter the world.

The current future is somewhat daunting but if we can listen and learn from these challenging times it will help us evolve and beat adversity.

Many businesses are fighting to survive this turbulent time and, by helping to support and secure them we can maintain a safer future.

From a work perspective, getting back to developing my career with Loguru and being involved in more projects, the future with Loguru is an exciting place to be.
