Think procurement is purely process? Think again
Procurement isn’t just a process— it’s a commercial advantage. When it’s done well, it creates value, reduces risk, and builds stronger supplier relationships. When it’s not, well… you already know what that costs.
That’s where I come in. I help teams sharpen their procurement skills so they’re not just ticking boxes— they’re thinking commercially, influencing outcomes, and driving measurable results. It’s practical, high-energy training built on decades of experience, not just theory pulled from a textbook.
Whether you’re onboarding new team members, levelling up your commercial capability, or shifting from transactional to strategic procurement, we’ll make sure your team walks away sharper, more confident, and ready to deliver.

Your team will learn how to move beyond price-driven buying— and start making sourcing decisions that reduce risk, increase value, and support wider business goals.
Stronger supplier relationships
Learn how to manage and influence suppliers more effectively— not just hold them to contract terms, but turn them into partners who drive real commercial outcomes.
Commercial thinking that adds real value
Procurement shouldn’t just follow process— it should lead on performance. Martin’s training helps teams think more commercially, challenge internal demand, and spot value others miss.
