We believe that developing long term relationships with all who provide services to our business, such as consultants, subcontractors, service providers and material suppliers is crucial to our ability to provide our clients and customers with projects that deliver to the highest standards.
The key to a successful project is the genuine collaborative effort of all parties involved. Through early engagement and working in partnership with our supply chain, we can address key performance requirements for health, safety, environment, employment and other CR matters.
Our supply chains are created both at a Group and a regional level. Our size and buying power allows us to negotiate national supply agreements for base materials, whilst at a regional level our subcontractor supply chains tend to be more specialist and closely linked to the operations of our various companies and divisions.
We have a quarterly Group procurement forum which is attended, amongst others, by three Divisional procurement managers and a newly appointed Group Procurement Manager. This supplements three Divisional procurement forums that also meet quarterly. As well as identifying where the needs of each Division coincide and ensuring we do not miss any opportunities, these forums will provide a focus to drive CR-related supply chain issues.
