Head of Procurement

This is the first time I have worked with Adam and AR Resourcing, he was recommended due to placing other Heads of Procurement across the group. I was really pleased with how he managed the recruitment process and communicated with all parties, especially as we had a couple of unforeseen delays that needed to be professionally managed. Happy to work with Adam again.

Category Lead – Interiors

We asked Adam to find a Category Lead for us which he filled first time. This was an interesting assignment, due to the greenfield nature of the role candidates needed experience of change and implementation of new ways of working as well as core procurement skills. By working closely with Adam he ensured a high calibre shortlist and we appointed an excellent candidate.
