"We have been working with Simon continuously for over a year now and will be continuing that relationship going forwards. We engaged Simon initially to run a full category review and tender process for our largest input cost category which had seen unprecedented inflation. Not only was Simon able to bring a quantitative, should-cost approach, but he was adept at running the tender process on time and delivering significant savings.

We have since continued to roll Simon onto other high spend categories where he has shown the same ability to deliver real benefits and in-year ROI. Furthermore, Simon is a pleasure to work with and treads a careful balance in gaining the trust of the internal teams while driving for the savings that management require. I have also seen Simon to be a tenacious negotiator but always in a “nice” way that fits with our brand ethos and long-term partnership approach, his external perspective in the room is also a very valuable approach. All in all I would not hesitate in recommending Simon"
