I am a hardworking and enthusiastic asset to any team. I am highly self-motivated and bring my strong organisational skills to the table to carry out tasks to a high standard. I have a background in business administration, supplier co-ordination and onboarding as well as a short time as a Buyer for a multinational contracting business.

With these roles combined I have the desirable skill set to face any demanding projects with a professional and enthusiastic approach. As an ambitious individual I am always striving to learn are develop my strengths to better myself and my work. I value becoming a strong asset to a team which I can contribute to with my hard working and driven attitude, while also taking responsibility for my own work to reach deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

This then progressed into helping develop an internal database for supplier maintenance which held the information on all suppliers in our system. I gained ownership of this database and became a main point of contact across the UK business for supplier onboarding. This entailed onboarding of new suppliers, calls and emails liaising with vendors to gain their documents needed for approval such as quality certificates and banking information and managing the database with the supplier details.

Day to day I practice continuous improvement initiatives in procurement processes to increase efficiency while assessing supplier suitability and managing ongoing vendor relationships. As part of supplier maintenance, I created a sharepoint page with links to useful webpages and databases which became a focal point for the procurement team to get the information they needed. The role also included creating process flow charts and information pages which were sent out to the team along with spreadsheet work and calls with future/ potential suppliers.
