With almost 40 years of experience in content, data, and media organisations, I am passionate about helping BiP Solutions and its customers gain strategic insights into the future direction of public procurement and supply chains. As the Director of Public Policy, Research and Communications, I utilise our market-leading data and insights to engage with those at the heart of this dynamic, valuable, and constantly changing sector.
I also deliver commercial leadership on services such as Delta eSourcing, Delta Supply Chain/CompeteFor, EBRD ECEPP and PASS Procurement, as well as support for our GO Excellence in Public Procurement Awards and other BiP events, including those with a focus on the Procurement Act.
My mission is to ensure BiP’s internal and external customers have access to the highest quality and most relevant content possible, and to project BiP’s position as the leader in its field. I work with talented teams across our locations in Glasgow and Manchester, and external partners and providers, to enable the success of our customers and company.
