Simon Frost
Procurement Adventurer
After 20 years of working across a range of businesses, I noticed that many procurement functions were lacking flair and not performing to their full potential.

My mission is to turbo-charge procurement teams to deliver Sustainable Procurement
I saw first hand that the focus of procurement tended to be on short term tactical cost savings taking priority over building long term sustainable value. Basic skills, such as category management, were often lacking, procurement systems didn't always give the ROI they should and sustainability agendas were an afterthought.
As more people began to ask for my advice, setting up my own business seemed like the natural next step. So I decided to test the water with a day of consultancy for an African venture. One day turned into 10 years and I’ve not looked back since.
Helping procurement professionals deliver to the best of their potential is something I want to do for the rest of my working career and I very much hope I can help you too.
