Last night we were very proud to attend the #CIPSAWARDS having been short listed for the Procurement Consultancy Project of the Year. This was in recognition of our efforts supporting Tom Rumboll and his team at SYNETIQ by focusing on harmonising processes and cost optimisation. With 6 completed projects so far and more on the way, our industry specialists have delivered £150,000 of annualised savings and helped to consolidate 35 suppliers into 7, giving SYNETIQ much better control and efficiency moving forward. Although we narrowly missed out on the victory spot to Deloitte, it has been extremely rewarding to receive such recognition from CIPS - The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply and it’s a tremendous privilege to be part of such a fantastic community of organisations focused on helping businesses to perform better. Congratulations to everyone involved! #ValueThroughInsight
