A Senior Procurement and Supply Chain Professional with over 25 years of experience at management level within manufacturing and distribution companies, Simon is passionate about his role thanks to its dynamic nature and the opportunity to make an impact on a business performance.
With previous positions at Formica Group Europe, as global brand leader in the suppy of laminate surface products, and Hill & Smith PLC, he has successfully led and been part of strategic sourcing initiatives, negotiated supplier contracts and optimised supply operations to drive cost efficiencies whilst ensuring continuity to supply.
“I was attracted to Fitzroy of London by the ambition and integrity of the business,” says Simon, “it is a company who are friendly, work as a team and are passionate about customer experience. There are many opportunities for making a difference and I am enjoying every minute of the challenge. The future of our operations to support growth will not focus solely on internal efficiency, but will welcome a strategic, value driven function that aligns with the business goals, customer expectations and environmental responsibility.”
As someone who is customer focused and thrives on the challenge of negotiating value-driven agreements, streamlining processes, and collaborating closely with stakeholders and suppliers, Simon’s real sense of satisfaction is knowing that every decision from sourcing materials to the dispatch of goods, contributes directly to efficiency and long-term success of the business.
