Aneeq Samuels

I possess various qualifications, notably I will be completing my CIPS diploma once I have completed my final exam in November. I have held this position at various companies throughout my working career. During this time, I have gained extensive knowledge pertaining to purchasing materials and other goods directly from manufacturers.

I possess excellent decision-making skills and the ability to do the research needed to obtain the best price for all the purchases made but especially for any expensive or challenging purchases. I have outstanding verbal and written communication skills and negotiation skills with the ability to create and maintain a great working relationship with suppliers and vendors.

I have an outstanding reputation for being dependable, trustworthy and one of the best Procurement Officers with my current employer. My resume has a more comprehensive look at my skills, training and experience. I have also provided references that will confirm my reputation.
