Procurement Manager

Mar 2017 - Dec 2019
My essential role was as a supply network leader through our distribution centres in both Dublin and Barnsley, UK. I endeavoured to consistently innovate and implement an effective and lean procurement process across all of the categories. The extensive portfolio of car parts, accessories, tools and leisure products offers global customers a potential 12 million SKU's online at micksgarage.com and through multiple marketplace/channel platforms. In the main, I had personal responsibility for the analysis and execution of the Strategic and tactical supply network including logistics but was also very much involved in the operational and JIT model. This, in turn enabled such a wide variety of products to the customer base in partnership with some of the eminent key suppliers/brands in the automotive aftermarket. Show less
