I don't blame suppliers for taking advantage I blame customers for allowing themselves to be taken advantage of.
I totally agree.

Procurement in the Public Sector is pathetic.

I would put buying in the hands of professional buyers if I was running things.

In my own industry I’m well known for my approach to buying and to getting the best price possible on every product.

I do this through nous but also through long nurtured relationships and a friendly approach and I don’t ask for prices that rape my suppliers either.

I know what’s achievable and fair.

I could save the NHS multi millions.
