Mark C.

I’m new to Upwork but not new to procurement. After five years as Procurement Director at Springpack, I’ve recently set up as an independent Procurement consultant. With over 23 years of experience across multiple sectors, I support businesses with supply chains, procurement, and packaging projects. I have well established supplier networks in Turkey, China, India, and Europe, which allow me to provide practical insight and global sourcing support. As an MCIPS-qualified professional, I bring recognised expertise and a structured approach to every project. My approach is hands-on and flexible, focused on making processes more efficient and cost effective while maintaining quality. I offer project based support, ongoing support, and retainer packages, depending on what best fits your needs. I enjoy working on complex challenges and helping organisations improve how they manage suppliers, control costs, and run operations more smoothly.
