Senior Buyer
Matt Davies
Working in purchasing brings a different challenge every day, it involves meeting and developing business relationships with suppliers around the world, supporting other departments with their requirements and working as a team within the purchasing department to maintain the timely, best quality and most cost-effective supply of goods and services. It is very satisfying to solve supply issues, find ways to save money and contribute to the overall success of the business.
