“I joined Collective Purchasing in December 2005 and have been impressed by the
commitment of the team here.  Everyone works on a daily basis to ensure that our
customers benefit from the huge savings that are available by utilising our experience
and vast buying power.  
 
My role, as head of the Sales Team, is to focus on outstanding customer service and new business.

I am also involved in making sure we are raising our profile with more businesses and introducing new suppliers into our extensive portfolio to ensure we can offer the highest quality products across a broad spectrum of suppliers.  This means that we are able to compare and continually check our negotiated deals to give our members the best prices available.
 
One of our aims in 2006 is to become an outsource buying department for many of our customers, giving our customers more time to concentrate on their core duties and leave the buying to us.  Our customers will be able to discuss new products if they wish with suppliers and then ask us to negotiate deals on their behalf.
 
We are also at the start of a “Wish List” project which will enable us to collectively purchase quantities of Furniture & Equipment for several customers at a time giving us further potential to negotiate on each deal.
 
I really enjoy my days here and I am pleased to be working in such a customer focused team.”
