• Procurement Manager

  • Jan 2006 - Dec 2016

  I have 12 years of buying experience and I have been a procurement manager for over 7 years. I was working for Steinhoff International Buco Rietpan and I reduced procurement costs by 32% in the first 2 years of becoming a Procurement Manager and played a key role in steering the company’s loss in the previous financial year into profit for the proceeding 5(five) consecutive years thereafter by negotiating favorable terms and streamlining supplier channels. Prior to this I was a Senior Buyer (Purchasing Manager) where I negotiated tenders and procured products for approx. 80% of all hardware and building materials. I built an extensive supplier network and developed good relationship with suppliers. This was preceded by an Steinhoff International Buco Rietpan Industrial Sales and Buyer position at where my core function was estimating project costs and materials which included site visits as well as health and safety equipment for sites.
